It is common knowledge that your gutters serve an important purpose: to keep rainwater away and to properly direct it away from the house. If water is allowed to simply splatter to the ground in all directions, it can damage the home’s exteriors like your paint job, and worse, it can weaken the foundation of the house structure. A lot of undirected rain can also cause flooding to destroy your landscape.
Your roof is designed so that rain, as well as melted snow and ice, runs down and collects into the gutters. The water then runs into the downspouts and down and away from the foundation of your house. Because of this, it’s important to keep your gutters and downspouts in good repair. If they are blocked or they leak, for example, the water will end up right down next your house. Not only can this cause flooding in your basement, but the excess water can also cause damage to the foundation of your home.
Homeowners are constantly reminded to have their gutters cleaned especially if you have a lush garden and your residence is surrounded by trees; leaves and twigs can easily find their way to you roof, clog your gutters over time and make it unable to function properly. However, gutter maintenance and eventual repair can take up a lot of your time and saddle your finances. That’s why installing a gutter guard is the most sensible option:
Gutter guards are flat, molded plastic screens that fit over the top of your gutters. They block leaves, tree limbs, nuts, and other debris from reaching the gutters on your house.
