5 reasons why you should install gutter guards
- Improve Gutter Water Flow – By preventing your gutter system from clogging up or getting blocked, gutter guards can improve the flow of water through your gutters and downspouts! This is especially helpful in regions including Pelham and Birmingham, AL, North Georgia, and throughout Tennessee that see heavy rainfall. In addition to reducing gutter overflow that can cause foundational damage or even enter the home, gutter guards will help rainwater tanks (or rain barrels) refill more quickly and with cleaner, more filtered water. In freezing temperatures, gutter guards prevent debris and water from accumulating which alleviates the likelihood of ice dams freezing in your system.
- Prevent Rust & Corrosion – Designed to prevent leaves, pine needles, pine cones, seed pods, and acorns from accumulating in your gutters, gutter guards reduce the amount of moisture-soaked debris that just sits there. Sitting moisture increases the likelihood of rust and corrosion forming in your gutters. Rust and corrosion compromise your gutter system over time, so gutter guards will help protect your investment and extend the life of your gutter system.
Reduce Presence of Bird, Mice & Insects – If pesky bats, squirrels, birds, mice, mosquitoes, spiders, and other insects are common homeowner nuisances in your neck of the woods, gutter guards can help! All these creatures will breed in your gutter system if the opportunity presents itself. Gutter guards minimize the amount of stagnant water in your gutters, and less water will make your gutters less attractive and more difficult to use as a breeding ground. Also, your gutter guards become an added barrier to prevent birds, rodents, and possums from making their way behind fascia boards and into attic spaces.- Valuable Fire Protection – With record-setting scorching temperatures across the nation this summer, the threat of bush and brushfires from hot, dry conditions is very real. In these instances, gutter guards can add a layer of valuable fire protection for homeowners and businesses. Embers that travel during wildfires can come into contact with dried-out leaves and debris sitting in gutters, and then quickly ignite into a fire that spreads. As a physical barrier between dried debris and lit embers, gutter guards can help protect your home, loved ones, and belongings.
- Save Time & Money – Simply put, you will need to clean out clogged gutters more frequently without gutter guards for your system. If you would rather have your gutters cleaned by a professional as opposed to removing handfuls of sticks, leaves, debris, and dirt yourself, you will be spending money on this service more frequently as well. Gutter systems experience rain overflow more frequently without gutter guards and this causes unattractive staining on your home’s exterior. In this case, you will need to either pressure wash the home yourself or hire another professional service to restore your home’s pristine curb appeal.
