How Alu-Rex Protects the Value of Your Home

Protect the value of your home by installing Alu-Rex products. Because clogged eavestroughs are worse than no eavestroughs at all.

Alu-Rex products eliminate a wide range of problems:

Rotting fascia boards and soffits.
When an eavestrough is clogged, water overflows and seeps between the eavestrough and the fascia board. The board will eventually start to rot and may even spread rot to the soffit.

Proliferation of fungus in the attic.
If you forget to clean out the eavestroughs in the fall, they stay clogged all winter long. In the spring, water from melting snow and ice won’t run off and can stagnate all the way up to the shingles. Water ends up seeping into the attic, which can lead to fungus growth.

Damaged, leaky ceilings. If the problem described above is not resolved quickly, the water in the attic can even get into your ceilings and drip down interior walls, which can even lead to fungus growth inside your home.

Eavestroughs damaged by ice.
The unique design of Alu-Rex products prevents ice and freezing rain from accumulating in your eavestroughs. As a result, your eavestroughs don’t have to bear as much weight. Moreover, when water freezes, it expands. Since no ice can get into eavestroughs equipped with Alu-Rex products, they won’t bend and they’ll always stay in good working order year after year.

Damaged landscaping.
A clogged and overflowing eavestrough accelerates soil erosion and can damage flowers and trees near the house.

West Nile virus. Mosquitoes, which carry the West Nile virus, breed in stagnant and muddy water. By eliminating the buildup of debris in your eavestroughs, you protect your family from this virus that’s been spreading around the world.

Foundations damaged by ice. Water from poorly maintained eavestroughs does not drain properly and collects near your home’s foundations. As the water freezes it can cause major damage to your foundation and increase the moisture level of your basement.

Frozen sidewalks and driveway. In cold weather, overflowing eavestroughs can leave a layer of ice on your sidewalks and driveway, making it dangerous to walk outside your home.
