Gutters protect your home by channeling the rain and melting snow that falls on your roof away from your home’s foundation and exterior walls and windows, where water seeping in can cause expensive structural damage. However, gutters only serve this function if they are functioning correctly, allowing water to drain quickly without anything obstructing your gutters or downspouts.
But when trees are around, keeping your gutters free of debris can be a constant battle. Pine needles, leaves, bird nests, and other solid materials that build up on your roof and gutters can create dams that clog your gutters and downspouts, sending that water over the edge instead of along their channels. That’s where gutter guards can be a game-changer, especially for homes surrounded by mature trees.
Precision Gutters and Roofing in Hayden, Idaho, recommends gutter guards for many customers. But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the best gutter guard for your home? We’ve done the research and seen the results, and here are our recommendations for homeowners in North Idaho and Eastern Washington.
What Are Gutter Guards and How Do They Work?
Gutter guards are protective screens that fit directly over gutters. They filter out leaves, twigs, and other debris from entering the gutters, allowing only water and very small particles to enter. By keeping debris from entering your gutters, gutter guards reduce gutter maintenance requirements and extend the life of your gutter system.
Gutter guards come in several styles, including mesh screens, reverse curve systems, and micro-mesh covers. By preventing clogs, gutter guards reduce the need for frequent cleanings, minimize the risk of water damage, and help protect your home’s foundation and landscaping.
Are Gutter Guards a Good Investment?
In our experience, investing in high-quality gutter guards offers several key benefits:
- Reduced Maintenance: With gutter guards, you spend less time cleaning your gutters, which means fewer ladder climbs and a lower risk of injury. Most debris will fall right off your roof or can be easily swept off.
- Prevention of Clogs and Water Damage: Gutter guards can prevent gutter blockages that cause water to overflow, a problem that may lead to foundation issues, roof damage, and flooded basements.
- Extended Gutter Lifespan: Keeping debris out of your gutters reduces corrosion, rust, and overweight gutters, helping your gutter system last longer.
- Pest Prevention: Standing water and debris in clogged gutters may attract mosquitoes, rodents, birds, or other pests. Gutter guards help eliminate these nesting areas.
