gutter protection
Rainwater control is essential in protecting your home and
your wallet from expensive water damage caused from clogged,
overflowing rain gutters. RainTube® prevents downspouts
from clogging while collecting rainwater at high
volumes—even through heavy debris.
RainTube® is the first system to work with any roof/gutter
combination and accommodates exposure to varying levels of
debris. It is made from 100% recycled HDPE, which is
virtually indestructible and comes with a transferable
lifetime warranty.

How RainTube Works
An
Eco-Friendly Option to End Clogged Gutters Forever
The job of a
rain gutter is to catch and direct water away from the home,
but traditional gutters don't work because their open design
means they collect all forms of clogging debris. Once
clogged, water can backup
and overflow causing roof leaks, dry-rot, termite
infestations, foundation settlement, basement flooding, land-
scape erosion, and wall and siding damage—resulting in
lost value and expensive repair bills. Even when
it’s
not raining, trapped debris holds moisture, which can
accelerate deterioration of the gutters. And dry debris
creates a fire hazard on your roof.
The patented
RainTube® material is porous and fits snugly into the your
gutters, creating a barrier against the debris that
typically clogs them. In most installations, RainTube®
"crowns" slightly above the top of the gutter,
creating a slippery aerodynamic surface that allows a
natural breeze to remove most debris. Any remaining stubborn
debris can be easily removed with a light brushing or
blowing whenever the roof is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do
I need to protect my gutters?
Your rain gutters perform the critical task of
collecting rainwater from the roof and channeling it
safely away from your home. Downspouts choked with
debris and leaves cause water to overflow uncontrollably
and damage the roof, siding, paint, interior walls,
basement and foundation resulting in expensive repairs.
It can also cause flooding and landscape erosion. Weight
from rain or snow in clogged gutters can loosen the
mountings and brackets and eventually pull the gutters
away from the structure. Debris that remains in gutters
with clogged downspouts will decay into a moisture-laden
slime. This layer of muck accelerates the deterioration
of the gutters and creates an environment where
mosquitoes, termites,
and even vegetation can grow.
Protecting your downspouts from clogging and
minimizing gutter debris
is essential to protecting your home.
How does RainTube® protect my gutters?
Put simply,
RainTube® prevents debris from clogging your downspouts
and damaging your home. At Rain Technologies we employ a
four-step system to protect your gutters. First, we
inspect the condition of your gutters, reporting any
shortcomings and recommending repairs if needed. Even new
gutters can sometimes be sloped wrong or lack enough
downspouts to properly drain the system. Next, your
gutters are cleaned and the downspouts flushed. Then, our
patented RainTube® system is installed. The porous
RainTube® fills the gutter allowing water to flow freely
through the system while minimizing clogging debris.
Leaves and debris are held up high above the gutter where
they quickly dry and are lifted away by a gentle breeze.
Fourth, we regularly follow-up with you to make sure
everything is working well.
What happens to small debris and grit?
The
patented RainTube® technology prevents large debris such
as leaves, pine needles, birds,
and rodents from entering.
Tiny particles such as dust, fine seeds and roof grit may
still enter, but with proper sloping and drainage these
particles will remain in the water and flush out through
the downspouts. In heavy rain the unique RainTube® design
also creates a bubbling, agitating action at the bottom of
the gutter that help sweeps small debris away and washes
it out, keeping the gutter clean and flowing. This action
can be easily seen at home shows with our wet-display roof
demonstration using a clear acrylic gutter. Also, the
RainTube® is easily removed to inspect the condition and
cleanliness of the gutter or to repair a damaged section.
Why is RainTube® the sensible solution for me?
Because
protecting your gutters is so important, we designed the
RainTube® system to not only provide the best gutter
protection available but to also be affordable to nearly
any home or property owner. The professionally installed
RainTube® system gives you the most effective gutter
protection at the lowest price on the market.
How can RainTube® be effective yet so inexpensive?
Our simple, straightforward, patented technology
allows technicians to complete high quality installations
quickly with fewer tools and equipment. The RainTube®
system is a superior solution based on simple,
understandable science. It prevents your downspouts from
clogging and maximizes the capacity of the gutter to carry
torrential rainfall runoff. Your roof is not
disturbed—in fact, there are no holes or fasteners
placed in your home's roof, fascia or gutters. This means
we can provide and install the RainTube® system for a
small fraction of the cost of other, more complicated
protection devices. Plus, if repair or service is ever
needed, the system is easily and quickly removed and
re-installed—no fuss, muss, or damage. The bottom line:
RainTube® passes its savings on to you.
We warrant
to the original consumer purchaser that the RainTube®
system will be free of defects due
to faulty material or
manufacture for as long as you own the home—under normal
use and maintenance, and normal exposure to sunlight,
temperature, and other natural elements. In addition, we
warrant that RainTube®, when properly installed and
maintained, will prevent your downspouts from clogging. It
is the responsibility of the installing dealer to assure
that the RainTube® system has been properly installed in
your home and is performing as designed. At the time of
installation the gutter and downspouts must be thoroughly
cleaned; gutters properly aligned, flashed, and sloped,
with downspouts located at least every 30 feet, and with
all other protective screens removed at the time of
installation. It is the responsibility of the property
owner to provide the minimal maintenance required
including removal of loose debris from the roof and top of
the system before it has an opportunity to break down and
decompose. Periodic removal of debris from the roof is
usually all the maintenance the RainTube® system requires
Can you help keep the rest of my roof free of debris?
In areas with mature trees, unwanted debris can
sometimes build up on your roof and it is important to
remove it before it has a chance to break down and
decompose or act as a water bridge over the top of the
gutter system. RainTube® does a great job protecting
gutters and its unique shape also helps make cleaning your
roof a breeze.
