At Carolina Pressure Pros, we understand the importance of gutter cleaning. Your gutters protect your home from the damaging effects water can have by directing rainwater away from key areas like your roof, siding, and foundation, but they can only do this job effectively when they are clean and free of clogs. While our team can take care of your gutter cleaning needs for you, we can also provide a preventative solution to keep debris out of your gutters in the first place.
In this article, we will go over a few of the benefits of using gutter guards.
- Prevent Clogs – Gutter guards are specially designed mesh covers that fit over the top of your gutter troughs. They allow water to flow through, allowing your gutters to function as intended but keep leaves, twigs, and other debris out. This significantly reduces the risk of your gutters getting clogged.
- Discourage Pests – Another benefit of using gutter guards is the way they help prevent pest infestations. Many pests, including both insects and rodents, are drawn to gutters full of debris, as the piles of leaves make attractive nesting sites. Gutter guards prevent leaves and other plant matter from collecting in your gutters, which discourages pests from nesting there.
- Reduces Maintenance Requirements – A third key benefit of using gutter guards is the way they reduce the amount of maintenance you will need to do to keep your gutters in good shape. Because they keep leaves and debris out of your gutters, they reduce the need to clean the gutters, which saves you valuable time.
