2 Reasons You Should Invest in Gutter Guards This Fall

This is truly the most beautiful time of the year; the weather is not too cold and not too hot, and the colours of leaves on the trees are changing into a bright orange, red & yellow. However, as leaves fall from trees and the rains continue to fall, it’s important to keep the gutters on your home clean and clear from any debris. You all know about the importance of keeping your gutters and eavestroughs clean, but did you know there is a surefire way to ensure that no debris gets stuck in your gutters this fall? With gutter guards, you can rest easy knowing that your home is safe and secure. Here are two reasons to invest in gutter guards:

Frees Up Time & Saves You Money

Your gutters and eavestrough will undoubtedly be filled with leaves & other forms of debris like helicopter seeds, so you’ll need to get up on a ladder periodically to remove that unwanted debris to prevent foundation damage to your home. Implementing a gutter guard onto your home will ensure that no debris can sit dormant on your gutter, preventing water flow. This will save you a lot of time as you’ll no longer need to perform routine maintenance. It will also save you money, especially because it will remain in excellent condition for years, and you’ll no longer require help if you rely on a professional cleaning company to clean your gutters.

Reduce Risk of Freezing

Even though it’s fall, it’s still not a bad time to think about the winter. Major gutter & eavestrough concerns in the winter include the possibility of them freezing and creating ice dams. You should remain vigilant throughout the winter to prevent ice dams from occurring, for example, ensuring your attic is properly insulated to prevent snow from resting on your roof, but a gutter guard will ultimately help you! Ice dams are accelerated when debris builds within your gutters, so be sure to invest in a gutter guard to reduce your risk of ice dams.

It’s important to think ahead and prepare your home from the colder months of the year. By investing in a gutter guard, you will be saving yourself time & money that would otherwise have been spent on home repairs/maintenance.
