Protect Your Roof With a Gutter Guard System This Fall

Of the dozen chores homeowners need to do for fall, none can prevent roofing issues better than clearing out your gutters. Fall is notorious for trees shedding their foliage, and it’s these leaves that often end up clogging your gutters and downspouts. This is why many experts recommend scheduling a gutter cleaning appointment during this season.

Nobody looks forward to cleaning out their gutters. It’s an important job, but it carries with it a lot of risks. You can do away with regular cleaning, however, by keeping your gutters safe from any debris in the first place by installing a gutter guard system.

They Save You Time and Money

Water penetration is the number one reason homeowners call for roofing company visits. This problem is often the result of roofs being unable to drain rainwater properly due to clogged gutters and downspouts. A gutter guard addresses the root cause of the problem, keeping your gutters clear of any blockages and channeling water away from your roof and into a safe drainage site. This saves you money on regular cleaning and repairs as well as the time you would otherwise have spent dealing with water-related issues.

They Can Protect Your Home

The primary purpose of gutter guards is to protect your roof against unwanted water, but their benefits extend to other parts of your house. Overflowing gutters often drip water right onto your siding, causing unsightly stains that may be difficult to remove. The same water can also leak into your foundations, leading to settling problems and flooded basements. An effective gutter guard system can save you from these troubles in the future.

They Prevent Ice Dams

Melted snow often accumulates at the edges of your roof where it refreezes and forms ice dams. Ice dams can be damaging and lead to untimely roof repair jobs. However, clear gutters help drain the roof properly of the snow runoff and minimize the risk of ice dam formation in the winter.
