Zip Hinge Benefits

Zip Hinge - Features and Benefits

  1. Assures your gutter downspout extension stays firmly attached to your gutter system while protecting your home's foundation.  
  2. Provides the homeowner the ability to move the gutter downspout extension to a vertical position while doing various outdoor tasks i.e. gardening, mowing, edging, landscaping, mulching, etc.

Independently from the apparent reasons...benefits, value and convenience of being able to lift your downspout extension in a vertical position, there is a substantial constant threat to your home’s foundation. When not having your gutter downspout extension securely attached it has an inability to divert water away from the home, resulting in damage.

Your gutter systems downspout is arguably the #1 most important integral part of this system. Gutter downspouts move water out of the gutter system and away from the home's substructure and landscaping. When a gutter downspout extension is not properly connected and/or fastened it compromises the entire system. Water can and will often times trickle into the home's foundation, basement and cause serious damage to the building’s landscaping and footing.

Professional rehab or repair estimates for cleaning a flooded basement range anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000. The real problem is that most homeowners’ insurance will only cover disasters, and typically will not cover damage occurring from failure to perform routine maintenance.
