Gutters are a key element in protecting different parts of your home from water damage. However, leaves, seeds, branches and other debris can find their way to your gutters and cause blockages. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up to your roof and overflow to your siding, leading to damage. Fortunately, gutter guards can help prevent this problem.
Read on to learn the benefits of installing gutter guards from a roof insurance claim expert.
Gutter guards prevent debris from entering the gutters, meaning you don’t need to have your gutters cleaned and maintained as frequently. As you hire a professional for gutter cleaning, you’ll save on maintenance costs if the system stays clean longer. Moreover, an efficient gutter system can delay the need for siding, window and roof replacement.
Standing water in clogged gutters can refreeze and cause ice dams. With an efficient gutter system, melted ice can be easily diverted from your home, preventing this problem. Also, the weight of the ice buildup can compromise your gutters and even cause them to pull away from the house. With gutter guards, your gutter system will stay clog-free, minimizing the occurrence of this issue.
Moist-filled branches, leaves and other debris that remain in your gutters for a long period can contribute to premature rust and corrosion. Gutter protection systems are made to prevent these objects from settling in your gutters. By preventing rust and corrosion, gutter guards can help extend the lifespan of your gutters.
