Cleaning gutters is a filthy job on the to-do list. The job involves climbing the ladder, scooping out the wet sopping leaves, removing the pine needles, and making sure the water flows freely. If only there was a simpler way to complete this job!
There is! Gutter Guards!
This ingenious tool is so helpful in keeping the gutters working at their peak! They come by a variety of names including gutter covers, gutter toppers, gutter screens, or gutter filters. But they all do the same thing. Gutter Guards are a mesh or screen that covers the entire gutter, eliminates huge branches and twigs from clogging the channels, and keeps animals from forming homes.
Here are five common questions regarding gutter guards we are commonly asked:
close
Will the gutter guard filter out all kinds of materials?
Will roof shingles be damaged when the gutter guards are installed?
Can leaves accumulate on top of the gutter cover and block water drainage into the gutter itself?
Can the gutter cover become loose or be damaged easily?
Will the leaf filter look good on my gutters?
What are some of the amazing benefits of installing gutter guards?
Save Time and Money
Cleaning out gutters will be something you don’t need to worry about as much when you have gutter guards installed. The gutters will be easier to maintain and the water will have a chance to flow freely away from the home. Rust will not occur as often since there won’t be a debris buildup forcing the water to stagnate in one spot.
Avoid Animal Infestation
A gutter can make a fabulous home for some small critters. It is a comfortable shape and can hold a small vermin family nicely. But it is only nice for them. Not for the homeowner! Keep bats, squirrels, mice, birds, and other small animals from making their homes in your gutters by installing the guards.
Improve Gutter Water Flow
As indicated above, with gutter guards, the water can easily flow to the downspout. The likelihood of leaves, branches, and debris is minimized with the guards. This is especially helpful for those with a rainwater barrel connected to the downspout. The amount of debris collected in the barrel is less when the guards do their job properly.
