A tool that permits a length of rain gutter to be positioned and adjusted along an eave of a building. In one example, the tool includes a grasping portion for securing the device between a fascia and a wall, and a support portion for supporting a gutter when the gutter is being installed. The tool is easily secured to a building without the use of fasteners, clips, or the like, and allows a saddle to be provided for a portion of the gutter, where the saddle is adjustable in three dimensions relative to a mounting surface for the gutter.

A dwelling water drainage system is provided, which includes a gutter system having a water collection function mode for collecting and diverting water during rain and a self-cleaning function mode for cleaning debris from the gutter system. A controller controls the function or operation of the gutter system and is configured to transition the gutter system from the water collection function mode to the self-cleaning function mode. The controller is configured to communicate with a mobile device or a tablet for programing and/or controlling the operations of the gutter system.

A gutter guard device is described, comprising: a bridge member composed of a sheet or micro-mesh decking material having a plurality of orifices, and having a roof side and an opposing gutter lip side; at least one girder spanning a bottom surface of the bridge member from a proximal end of the bridge member's roof side to a proximal end of the bridge member's gutter lip side; a roof attachment member attached to an end section of the roof side of the bridge member and configured to attach to a roof; and a gutter attachment member attached to an end section of the gutter lip side of the bridge member and configured to attach to a gutter lip, wherein the device is self-supporting.

A liquid dispersing system includes a plate having a plurality of spaced holes passing through the plate. The plate has a thickness, a top portion, and a bottom portion, and each hole comprises a first opening at the top portion of the plate and a second opening at the bottom of the plate. The first opening and the second opening of each hole are differently-sized, so that the holes divide and disperse drops of the liquid into smaller droplets.

The method includes dispersing copper or other material ions through the water receiving area of a gutter guard for the prevention of moss or mold growth. The method includes the utilization of thread(s) sewn into or embroidered onto or otherwised affixed to or immediately preceding the water receiving areas of a gutter guard, such thread(s) being comprised of moss killing materials. The thread(s) comprise only a portion of the water receiving area, so if corrosive elements form and wash over the water receiving area, they will be in sufficient amounts to kill moss but not in so great an amount as to clog any water receiving apertures. The method includes the utilization of staples or other objects comprised of copper or other moss killing materials fastened to or adhered or welded to the body or water receiving areas of a gutter guard or areas immediately preceding such.
