Just two inches of rain can mean over 1,000 gallons of water flowing off your rooftop and down the gutters. As a result, maintaining your gutters is essential. If you’re tired of digging out leaves and twigs from your gutters, gutter guards are a great solution. Why should you consider installing them at your house?
One of the biggest reasons to install gutter guards is to prevent clogs caused by leaves, twigs, dirt, and other outdoor debris. When your gutters are blocked, water will spill over the sides and accumulate around the foundation. This can erode the soil around your foundation, weaken your home’s structural integrity, and lead to basement flooding. Additionally, standing water from clogged gutters can seep into your roof or walls and create an ideal environment for mold and mildew.
Because gutter guards are a physical barrier over your gutters, they allow rainwater to flow away from your house while keeping yard debris and dirt out. Once gutter guards are installed, they will protect your home from water-related damage and help you avoid expensive repairs in the future. Installing gutter guards is a proactive way to ensure that your gutters function efficiently, even during heavy rainfall and in the winter when ice dams are a possibility.
Let’s face it—nobody enjoys cleaning gutters! It is tedious and potentially dangerous, as it involves climbing ladders and manually removing organic debris. Falls from ladders are a common cause of household injuries, especially during gutter maintenance. By working with a professional to install gutter guards, you can avoid climbing on a ladder again or removing debris that is potentially rotting and moldy.
Gutter guards also drastically reduce the amount of debris that accumulates in your gutters, which means that fewer cleanings are necessary. This is great for homeowners who already have fall clean-up lists that are long and time-consuming. Even if you hire a professional gutter cleaning service to tidy up your gutters, needing fewer visits is a great thing.
In areas prone to heavy rain, snow, or ice like Maryland, Northern Virginia, and DC, gutter guards are particularly useful. Over the course of the winter, clogged gutters can contribute to the formation of ice dams—thick ridges of ice that prevent proper water drainage and can cause extensive damage to your roof and gutters. Gutter guards help mitigate ice dam formation by reducing debris buildup and ensuring proper water flow, even in freezing conditions.
Additionally, during heavy rainstorms or late summer thunderstorms, gutter guards prevent your gutters from becoming overwhelmed with rain and debris. Without gutter guards, the sudden flood of rain can lead to overflow and flooding. By keeping your gutters clear and functional, gutter guards provide year-round protection against weather-related challenges.
