Gutter guards are a screen or cover that ensures the waterfalling on your roof is routed down through the drainage system while filteringout leaves and debris. Despite the material and installation costs, gutter guards have the potential to pay for themselves several times over by protecting your home and minimizing time consuming and costly maintenance and cleaning. Gutter guards are vital to the upkeep and maintenance of your home for the following reasons:
1. Gutter Guards Reduce the Need for Gutter Cleaning
This is the top reason to consider gutter guards. Gutters require biannual cleaning and clearing out. Gutter guards filter out debris and the frequency of required cleaning falls significantly to yearly or every other year, depending on the foliage type and proximity to your home. Homeowners will save themselves a lot of time and energy when cleaning gutters themselves or a hefty bi-annual price tag to hire it out.
2. Gutter Guards Protect Your Home
It’s often hard to tell when your gutters are clogged or failing, even when monitoring them in a rainstorm. When gutters are blocked, it can lead to pooling on your roof, against your fascia, or at the base of your home and foundations. This can cause significant structural damage to your home. When you install gutter guards, you aren’t just saving yourself aday of cleaning, you’re literally protecting your home and other costly repairs and potential emergencies.
3. Gutter Guards Help With Pest Control
By preventing the buildup of debris with Gutter Guards, water is less like to pool. Pooling and standing water creates a breeding ground for mosquitoes, not something you’d like to encourage around your home! Nesting birds are known to enjoy the perfectly sized nook a guttercreates. Never wonder if animals are waiting for you at the roof line by making it impossible for them to visit!
4. Minimize Mold and Mildew
Often a death knell for your fascia boards, roof decking, siding, or foundation walls, water that pools around your house is a hotbed for mold and mildew. Common materials to clog gutters are leaves, dirt, and natural debris. Often this debris harbors mold spores which can fill not only your gutter system, but also the areas surrounding it which are susceptible to rot, which is an easy way for mold and mildew to infiltrate your home causing a host of issues health wise and a high expense for remediation.
