Ozark Gutter Guard Co. Launches 2026 Severe Storm Preparedness & Foundation Protection Initiative in Benton & Washington Counties
New comprehensive storm readiness program provides free 21-point drainage audits and high-capacity micro-mesh upgrades to protect NWA homes from expansive clay foundation failure.
Executive Summary & Key Findings
BENTONVILLE, Ark. — March 02, 2026 — Ahead of the 2026 Ozark tornado and convective thunderstorm season, Ozark Gutter Guard Co. today announced the kickoff of its regional Severe Storm Preparedness Initiative across Benton and Washington Counties.
Northwest Arkansas receives an average of 47.5 inches of annual rainfall, 25% higher than the national average, with spring storm events frequently generating peak precipitation intensities exceeding 2 to 3 inches per hour. When standard residential gutters clog with spring oak catkins or pine needles, thousands of gallons of uncontrolled water overflow directly onto home foundations built on Arkansas’s expansive Vertisol clay soils, leading to slab heaving, crawlspace flooding, and costly structural cracking.
Under the 2026 initiative, Ozark Gutter Guard Co. is deploying mobile technician teams to perform comprehensive $149 Diagnostic Cleanouts and 21-Point Roofline Audits. The service includes full interior debris extraction, high-velocity downspout jetting, laser pitch realignment, and high-definition video documentation of gutter slope and fascia integrity. 100% of the $149 fee is credited toward permanent surgical micro-mesh installation.
'Our mission is to help NWA families safeguard their largest financial asset — their home,' noted Thorne. 'A clogged gutter during an Ozark flash storm is not merely an inconvenience; it is an active threat to your foundation. Our 316 surgical stainless micro-mesh system is laboratory certified to ingest up to 150 inches of rainfall per hour while shedding 100% of pine needles and oak pollen.'
