If your gutters look more like a garden instead of a system designed to protect your home from water damage, then you already know one of the reasons why gutter guards can be important. Plants and small trees belong in the yard, not on your roof.
Unprotected gutters will fill with debris from surrounding trees and other debris carried on the wind that ends up on your roof. No matter where you live, nature’s elements will find a way into your gutters and lead to serious problems.
When a gutter clogs… it fills with water, overflows, and can become totally useless. Issues caused by debris collecting in your gutters are:
- Water overflow leading to foundation damage and soil erosion
- Build-up of dry debris is a fire hazard
- Water leaking into your attic and walls
- Moisture problems that encourage mold growth and termite/pest infestation
Gutter Guard and Protection
If you’ve ever had to clear eavestroughs clogged with decaying debris or hire a contractor to excavate your property and fill cracks in your foundation, you understand the importance of having an effective rainwater drainage system for your home. Overflow caused by clogged or cracked gutters increases the risk of water seeping under roofs or into basements.
Gutter Clean
We carry Alu-Rex gutter guards—long-lasting solutions to protect your most important investments. The gutter guards we install on existing eavestroughs are part of our Gutter Clean System® line. They keep your gutters clear all year long, even protecting them from ice and snow in the winter. By blocking debris and preventing ice from forming inside your gutters, Alu-Rex gutter guards keep water away from the fascia and your basement.
