Local Service Call

We were called for a service call in Atlantic Highlands NJ. The customer told us the covers were raised and the gutter was overflowing. We would expect that if the Waterloov Gutter Guards are disturbed, debris would get in in sufficient quantity to clog the gutter.

The few times this has happened, it's the back edge of the Waterloov Gutter Guard lifting up from the shingle, but this is not what we found. Instead we found two gutter guards (six feet) of the front lower lip of the gutter guard raised above the front gutter lip. And when we lifted them another inch to peek inside we saw evidence of a bird's nest.

Yes, just the inch or so that the gutter guards were raised up above the gutter lip was enough space for the bird to enter. Fortunately there were no eggs or baby birds and five minutes later, the nest was removed and the Waterloov Gutter covers reinstalled.
