WHY INSTALL A GUTTER GUARD?
Reduced Maintenance: One of the primary benefits of gutter guards is the reduction in routine gutter cleaning. Normally, gutters need frequent cleaning due to the accumulation of leaves, twigs, and other debris. Gutter screens keep most of this debris out, meaning the gutters remain clearer for longer periods. This reduction in cleaning not only saves time but can also decrease the overall maintenance costs over the gutters’ lifespan.
Prevent Clogs and Overflows: By blocking debris from entering the gutters, guards help prevent the clogs that can lead to overflows during heavy rain. Overflowing gutters can cause water to spill over the sides and pool around the foundation of the house, potentially leading to serious issues like water damage to the basement and foundation cracks.
Extend Gutter Lifespan: Guards help extend the life of your gutters by preventing the accumulation of debris that can lead to rust and corrosion. With reduced debris accumulation, gutters are less likely to suffer from premature wear and tear, ensuring they last longer before needing repairs or replacement.
Help Prevent Water Damage: By ensuring that water flows freely through your gutters and downspouts, gutter screens play a crucial role in directing water away from your home’s foundation, siding, and landscaping. This efficient water management helps prevent erosion, protects painted surfaces by reducing exposure to water, and minimizes the risk of water damage to your home’s structure.
Reduce the Risk of Ice Dams: In colder climates, gutter screens can mitigate the formation of ice dams in the winter. Ice dams occur when debris-filled gutters prevent proper drainage, allowing water to back up and freeze. Guards keep gutters clear, ensuring water drains before it has a chance to freeze and form an ice dam.
Enhance Safety: For many homeowners, cleaning gutters can be a risky endeavor involving ladders and high elevations. Gutter guards can minimize the frequency of cleanings needed, thereby reducing the risk of falls and injuries associated with gutter maintenance.
Pest Reduction: Guards also help in keeping pests such as birds, rodents, and insects from building nests in the gutters. These nests can block water flow and cause additional damage or infestation problems.
HOW DO GUTTER GUARDS WORK?
Gutter Guards work by covering the top of your gutters with a mesh or solid material that allows water to flow through but blocks debris. This prevents clogs and keeps your gutters free from leaves, twigs, and other debris.
Some Gutter Guard designs also incorporate angled surfaces to help direct rainwater into the gutter while repelling leaves and other obstructions.
