Your gutter system protects your roof, landscaping and foundations from moisture damage. As such, you should invest in gutter guards to protect them from clogs. In addition to stopping leaves, branches and other debris from entering the gutters, they also help prevent mold and mildew growth caused by water runoff finding its way in your roof and the rest of your home exteriors.
Today, we discuss the benefits of installing gutter protection.
Without gutter guards, debris can build up in your gutters and clog up the system, making it difficult for water to flow smoothly. To ensure your gutter system continues performing its function, you may have to clean it regularly or hire a gutter cleaning company to do it for you. Either way, you’ll be spending time and money.
While debris may still collect even with gutter guards, systems with proper gutter protection are easier to clean than digging into clogged gutters to remove twigs and leaves. By investing in gutter guards, rest assured you reduce the number of times your gutters need to be cleaned.
In the event that your gutters get clogged with ice, the water will pool around or flow into your home. This can lead to moisture damage in various areas of your house, from the roof to the basement. Not only that, but the excess water can cause your gutter to bear the extra weight, which may eventually cause it to come loose.
For this reason, gutter and roofing contractors recommend installing gutter guards. These will make your gutters stronger and more durable to withstand all kinds of pressure even during the harshest weather conditions.
Since gutter guards prevent water accumulation in your gutters, you won’t have to deal with stagnant water that attracts pests and insects, such as mosquitoes, mice, squirrels and spiders. Reducing standing water means you minimize the chances of these critters from turning your home into their breeding ground. Furthermore, gutter guards also work as a physical barrier to possums and rodents, which may navigate their way behind the fascia boards and into your roofing system.
