Gutters are designed to catch and redirect rainwater away from your home, but they tend to catch much more than just rainwater with their open design. That’s why we at Lewis Seamless Gutter like to recommend gutter guards to our customers. Here are a few details on how gutter guards work.
- Placed atop gutters: Gutter guards are installed on top of your gutters to act as a covering to stop anything outside of rainwater from entering your gutters.
- A metal mesh design: Gutter guards are engineered with a metal mesh design that allows water to easily pass through the holes and block even finer debris, like pine needles from entering the gutter.
- Prevent clogs and water damage: By preventing leaves, twigs, pine needles, and other debris from entering your gutters, gutter guards help to prevent any clogs or water damage that could be caused by the clogs as well. This way, you don’t have to worry about the water backing up onto your roof, soffit, fascia, siding, or foundation instead of flowing efficiently through your gutters and away from your home.
- Extend the life of your gutters: Gutter guards also help to extend the life of your gutters by protecting them from any damaging clogs or buildups that could otherwise cause cracks or sagging if left ignored for extended periods of time.
Gutter guards can help to protect your home and gutters, reduce clogs, minimize gutter maintenance, and keep your gutters working efficiently. We are happy to help you decide whether they might be a good choice for your property. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
