Too bad the company went out of business. It's a great product and wanted to add Rainhandler to my mom's house. I hope someone buys the patent and begins producing these again. I have them on my house for over 10 years and love it.
Make sense , gutters need maintenance , therefore u will need to spend money continuously and paid for someone to maintain it gutter like gutters company etc . This is to promote the economy , this rain handler is perfect ,but not generate 🤑 💰 money. This is a business move
We put rain handlers on our house length front porch and LOVE them. We were going to put them on our shop with a dry creek bed behind it. I'm upset I can't buy them!
@ :50 one thing that needs stated is they DO need cleaned from time to time, but for the most part only require a quick shot of air from your leaf blower or sometimes a spray from your garden hose to clear out debris. Worth mentioning.
Yes and over doorways so you don't get showered by rain when you walk out the door OR WORSE melting drippage in the winter when it is freezing cold! LOL
We have a new two-story house with many trees around and we cannot keep our gutters clean. I am thinking about removing them and just letting the water fall off the roof naturally. However, she should have put the louvres closer to the edge of the roof to prevent the water from "wrapping back" from surface tension. Another thing to consider which is much cheaper than expensive gutter protection systems is to place concrete walkways sloped away from the house wherever the water falls off the roof. The leaves, pine needles and other debris will just fall on the concrete and you can just sweep it up. Much easier than cleaning gutters.
so instead of old trench, a new trench is formed. There is a simpler solution: looking at Swiss Alps and Chinese architects, you can find they have rather protruding/wide eaves and Chinese architects install water collecting and splash/water tolerant material in the bottom of structure (stones base rather than tile and it is stepped such that splashed water does not touch the bottom)
This would be good for a second story to slow the water down. Then it can run down the first story into a traditional gutter that will take it away from the home. I wouldn’t put this on my house in place of a gutter. I want the water to be brought away from my foundation
Rain Handlers are a great alternative to traditional rain gutters. The problem I see, however, is controlling water runoff from a roof valley. Are there any tricks or tips you have for this water handling problem or does Rain Handler have a special product for this situation?
Rain Handler "Roof Valley Rain Diverter. Installed in the valley between roof". Unfortunately, after reading the explanation, I am still not sure how to install it.
Interesting product, and well demonstrated. Thanks! However, I was actually looking for the special bolts designed to hold wooden boards up against house windows to protect them during a hurricane. The demo was in the episode called, 'Hurricane Retrofit a Home' (Episode #5349). Can you confirm the name of the product, please?
Down spouts are supposed to go 6ft from the house. This isnt getting more than 4 ft from the house foundation. Change the design to shoot water further away. Just a little more acute of an angle and it should work well. However to claim you never need to clean them is nonsense. All the systems I have ever seen in my life need cleaned up yearly.
Works great! A Canadian engineer designed this, you can get the backstory of how he developed the RH's on the company website. I installed them 2 years ago and no more constant cleaning of wood leaves, and other crap getting in the eaves and overflowing since I live in the woods. They also prevent ice dams which is a big plus since I had trouble in previous winters with ice damming on the roof and causing leakage into my home. During severe downpours, water would leak from the foundation into my basement because it is an old home. Since the RH's were installed, not a drop has entered the basement in the past 2 years. Very happy!!
I installed them two years ago, a Canadian engineer developed them in ONtario. Go to the company website and read the backstory. They have been on the market for years and many construction companies in my region use them when building new homes.

I'd never heard of it until today! It looks like a great product.

Big Gutter silenced them

Great video. You got right to the point, clearly explained every step, and demonstrated the result. Thank you.
Forgot about that show. She was the only reason I watched.
This seems like a good option for my shop. Thanks!
I have use it - wonderful

Looking Good!!!... the gutters too. :)
I did not expect to ever see Sally Field working on a house.
We bought a few to experiment with and love them. Now we can't complete the entire house as all vendors say the items are unavailable.
where we can buy it?
Probably a better option for taller houses?
And in winter? Icicle accumulation and its weight... How resistant is this against big winds?
The water still lands close to your foundation. The biggest purpose of gutters is to get it away!
Yes and over doorways so you don't get showered by rain when you walk out the door OR WORSE melting drippage in the winter when it is freezing cold! LOL
no, when rain, your foundation is going to full of water any way. the soil will evenly wet. this is physics
I don't want the soil near my foundation completely drying out. It shrinks.
The video shows how to secure it but what if you live in hurricane country on the southeast coast?
Very informative video. Thanks!
WHAT ABOUT THE WATER FOMING DOWN THE ROOF

wouldn't water falling on sidewalk splash onto walls?
Dang that does suck theyre not in business anymore or not sold anywhere now...wondering what the maker would need to get it back on the market
so instead of old trench, a new trench is formed. There is a simpler solution: looking at Swiss Alps and Chinese architects, you can find they have rather protruding/wide eaves and Chinese architects install water collecting and splash/water tolerant material in the bottom of structure (stones base rather than tile and it is stepped such that splashed water does not touch the bottom)
what if you have a patio or porch that will send the water near the house?
Lol, it falls next to the foundation still and splashes the facia board so it gets wet and rots
She forgot to mention when installing and end to end, you can integrate one end into the other to make it seem seamless...

Might as well cover the facia in drip metal to protect the wood
drip edge falls onto louver

@@bjgillette5432 Just go to their website, it's all done in detail with photos.
How do these work in snowy, cold conditions?
GREAT question!
Mine have survived several snow/ice storms 10 years
What do you put over a doorway?
Rain Handler DOORBRELLA Rain Diverter. "Diverts water from doorways, etc. Roof-mounted. No nails. Two (2) pieces, 36″ length each with putty seal. "
Interesting product, and well demonstrated. Thanks!

It looked so good until I saw that torrent of water,
Yeah, exactly. The water was getting diverted but by how much? A foot? I do like the simplicity of the product though.
I'm sorry... What was that again? My mind was preoccupied. ;)
Junk. I bought these and they clogged up with debris and are impossible to clean.
Joan Liebler - just leave the tool belt on....
She mis-measured @1:30. The 2nd mark should be at 30 inches, not 20. They went out of business because every customer came up one bracket short.
-- PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE --
So you cannot buy this product no more.

Aluminum screws? No such thing.
Sure there is, been using them for years on sheet metal.
Don’t think this works properly.

@@GaisSacredCreationsso this thing is working for u??? Where I can find this?
Complete waste of money and time.
my opinion it sucks
This looks like garbage
Well, that's just your opinion, man

What a joke!
Lol at Americans. So they have no gutters on their houses and no stormwater system?
In Canada and USA every house has gutters. I don’t know how they found this house. Only sheds don’t have gutters
@@patjohn775 I live in Canada and often see homes, both older and more recent without gutters. Depends on the construction and landscaping drainage.
Very rare in Arizona.
@@bigga5406 , so is rain. ;)
