Your home’s gutter system redirects rainwater from your roof away from the rest of your home. This protects against water damage, which can wreak havoc on your property. However, your gutters can become damaged and clogged over time, diminishing their ability to do their job. Fortunately, there’s a solution to constant clogging.
Gutter guards installed on top of your gutters provide many benefits that help protect your gutters. Here are three of the biggest benefits of installing gutter guards.
- Preventing Clogs and Blockages. Falling debris gets caught in gutters, creating clogs and blockages that prevent water from flowing freely through your gutter system. With gutter guards, debris isn’t able to pile up as easily. This means you’ll be able to prevent blockages from forming and clogging your gutters, which in turn helps prevent wear and tear caused by debris buildup.
- Detering Pests. Many pests, including spiders and other bugs, are attracted to standing water that can remain in gutters without guards. Pest problems in your gutters can quickly escalate into issues in the rest of your home as the pests migrate indoors. By installing gutter guards, you can help deter pests from nesting in your gutters in the first place.
- Less Maintenance. While all gutter systems require periodic maintenance to ensure they remain in good condition, systems with gutter guards require less maintenance. This is due to the lack of debris present that requires clean-outs and leads to damage.
