Signs It’s Time to Invest in Gutter Guards

Having clean gutters is essential for maintaining the health and integrity of your home. When you are experiencing clogged or failing gutters it is a tell tail sign that you need gutter guards. In this blog we are going to go over some common indicators that installing gutter guards could save your time, money, and hassle. 

 Frequent Clogs and Overflowing Water

If your gutters are constantly filled with leaves, twigs, or even debris, it may be a sign that gutter guards are needed. When your gutters are frequently clogged water overflow can happen, ultimately leading to water damage to your home exterior. Gutter guards act as a shield blocking debris from entering the gutter while allowing rainwater to freely flow. 

Constant Maintenance

Constantly needing to clean out your gutters or call in professionals for maintenance can be both time-consuming and costly. If you find yourself climbing the ladder more than a couple of times a year, it may be time for some new gutter guards. Gutter guards can lower the need for regular cleanings, ultimately saving you time and helping you and your home avoid dangers. 

Standing Water

Standing water is a red flag in any gutter system as it is a clear sign of poor drainage. When their is no proper flow, water can become trapped in the gutter - leading to rust, mold, or even invite mosquitoes. Gutter guards can help mitigate any blockages that can produce standing water inside of your gutters! Allowing water to flow freely through your downspouts and away from your home.

Water Damage

 Discovering stains on your home’s siding, having a flooded basement, or finding cracks in your foundation can all be symptoms of poor water drainage or clogged gutters. If never properly handled these issues can lead to costly repairs. Proper gutter guards will help prevent any issues and successfully lead water away from your home. By choosing to invest in gutter guards you are safeguarding your home’s structural integrity. 

Nesting Pests and Insects

Debris-filled gutters can be the perfect environment for pests like birds, squirrels, and insects to nest. These pests can create blockages on their own and even cause damage to the gutters themselves. In some cases, this can be the start of these pests breaching into your home, creating a whole different problem. Gutter guards will provide the necessary defense to ensure that these insects and pests move on.
