The key role of gutters is to redirect the rainwater away from your roof and home to prevent pooling water and other water damage to your home and roof. In addition to catching rainwater, however, gutters can also be good at catching other debris from your property, including leaves, dirt, nests, and more. These can create clogs and cause issues for your gutters. That’s why we recommend gutter guards. Here is some information on how gutter guards work.
- Placed atop your gutters: Gutter guards are typically wire mesh or perforated metal coverings placed on top of your gutters, almost like a sort of cap to protect your gutters from anything besides rainwater.
- Allows water to pass through: Gutter guards effectively catch any leaves or debris that might have otherwise gotten caught in your gutters but still allow for water to pass through the holes in the guards, so the rainwater can still drain properly from your roof and into your gutters.
- Prevents clogs: By catching the debris, leaves, and other filth that might have gotten caught in your gutters, gutter guards effectively prevent any clogs in your gutters. This can allow them to work more effectively and efficiently.
- Reduce cleaning and maintenance: When only water passes through your gutters, you can enjoy reduced cleaning and maintenance needs for your gutters, so you won’t have to hire a professional or climb up the ladder to reach your gutters so often. The reduced buildup of filth and clogs will also help your gutters to last longer before they need to be replaced or repaired.
