Gutters are designed to carry off rainwater in order to keep overflowing water away from your foundation, porches, and siding. If you don’t stay on top of your home’s gutter maintenance, there’s a good chance your drainage system is not working to its fullest potential.
Here are 4 top benefits of having gutter guards on your home:
Leaf-Free
The fall season is a favorite for many, but it comes with one major drawback for homeowners: leaf overload. Leaves are the number one cause of gutter clutter! If leaves are left in your drainage system, they can flood your open-top gutters, which can cause you some serious headaches down the road. The sheer weight of wet leaves can be enough to cause sagging gutter systems, which decreases the effectiveness of the drainage system and your home’s value.
Gutter guards are especially designed to have fallen leaves roll right off your gutter hood entirely, entrapping only water through gravity-specific slots.
Trash-Free
You never know what kind of junk is going to end up in your gutters. A big windstorm has enough power to pick up debris off the streets and blow it onto your roof and into your gutters. With gutter guards, you can rest assured that you won’t find candy wrappers, newspapers, or other trash setting up camp in your drainage system. And if you have kids, you won’t have to worry about bouncy balls or paper airplanes landing in your gutters any time soon.
Ladder-Free
With gutter guards, the need to drag out your ladder and risk your safety is minimized. Gutter guards help keep the debris out, which eliminates the need to unclog your gutters in the first place. A working gutter system could save you a trip to the hospital (and money on hospital bills). As long as your downspouts and gutters are working efficiently, you can go ladder-free and rest easy.
Low Maintenance
Since your gutters will be leaf-free and trash-free, that means you’ll have an easier time maintaining your gutter systems without an annual check-up. You’ll have more time to get back to doing the things you love rather than spending a day or two clearing out clogged gutters. In addition, you’ll save money from having to make repairs regularly.
