Why Gutter Guards Are a Good Investment

Cleaning your gutters is probably the least fun thing you need to do to get rid of the fall and winter. If you neglect your gutters, you might end up with some issues, including a damaged roof. If your gutters get clogged, ice can build up and the entire gutters will become dirty. You can also end up with a humidity problem if the clog causes the water to overflow and spill out of the gutter.

You can prevent this from happening by having some gutter guards installed. You can easily buy Pewaukee gutter guards via different sellers but Gutterglove is one of the best guards you can find on the market. This is one of the most popular products since this gutter guard can fit different sizes.

There is no need to clean your gutter once gutter guards are installed. The guards fit over the gutter just like a drain cover. The debris are filtered and only rainwater gets into the gutters. Gutter guards are not obtrusive and are difficult to notice from the ground. Having gutter guards installed should not change the appearance of your property and can easily be installed on gutters without making any modifications to your home or gutter system.

Best Gutter Guard & Gutter Protection

You have probably heard about metal gutter guards, waterfall gutter guards or rainfall gutter guards. Gutter guards are made from fine steel mesh and can filter debris, including leaves, grit, needles and seed pods. Anodized aluminum is a common material but you can find gutter guards made from other strong and lightweight materials. A good gutter guard should be strong enough to catch debris without adding weight to the gutter system.

You can find cheaper gutter guards with a thinner support frame. The frame can collapse, which would cause the debris that accumulated on the gutter guard to end up in the gutter system, which might lead to a clog. If debris accumulate on your gutter guard, this is only slightly better than not having a guard at all. You need to look for a gutter guard that will not break and that will hold its shape while shedding debris instead of letting them accumulate on top of the gutters.

Look for a gutter guard with a thickness of .03 to .1 of an inch. Choose a thicker guard if there are a lot of debris that fall on your roof. A thicker gutter guard will last longer and will do a better job of keeping your gutter system clean if a lot of leaves and other debris fall on your roof and in your gutter system. A thicker guard is a better investment since it will last longer compared to other products with thinner guards.

Gutter guards include a frame and a mesh. The mesh is what will catch debris and let smaller debris flow away. Choose a gutter guard with a quality mesh made from stainless steel to avoid rust and to make sure the gutter guard will withstand harsh conditions. A mesh made from a thinner or more fragile material will corrode and might break over time.

Are They Worth the Cost?

The experts at HGTV believe that gutter guards are most definitely worth the cost. With gutter guards, you will not need to climb up onto your roof to clean your gutters regularly throughout the year – this saves you time, and reduces the risk of you suffering injury. It also means that you don’t have to worry about the financial cost of repairing your roof if things go wrong. But you should know that gutter guards are not completely maintenance free – you will need to clean them occasionally. The good news is that if you choose the right type, thickness and pitch then you will find that you can go a long time between cleanings, so the maintenance burden will be minimal.

If you are going to buy them, make sure that you get them professionally fitted. This will ensure that you don’t end up with seeds and debris caught in your gutter, requiring more cleaning. A good professional fitting service will install your guards at the same pitch as your roof, ensuring maximum run-off, keeping your gutters clear and free.

If you opt for an ice-preventing gutter guard, choose one with just one cable – that is all you need to melt ice, and it will minimize the amount of power consumed throughout the year. Gutter guards can look expensive, but the total cost of ownership is minimal compared to the effort that they will save you  long term.

Stop Ice Dams As Well!

In addition to stopping a build-up of leaves and debris, a top leaf filter can also stop ice from forming in your gutter. There are high-end gutter guards that are equipped with a single, low energy usage heat cable that will stop ice from forming in the first place – or melt ice that is already there, stopping it from expanding and damaging your gutter.

Look for a gutter guard that has  a strong support frame that can be installed in the kind of gutter you have (not all gutter guards will fit a copper gutter well). An anodized aluminium channel frame will last for a long time and resist corrosion.

Choosing the Right Ice Dam Solution

While general purpose guards will do a decent job, the more specialist Leaf Blaster or Ice Breaker guards have a clear audience of homeowners, and it could be worth choosing one of those specialist models if you live in an area where ice is a problem or there are a lot of falling leaves at certain times of the year.

The LeafBlaster range in particular is interesting because of the unique design which slips under the roof shingles. The guard rests on the top of the roof deck or your tar paper, and clamps the gutter guard in place, keeping it stable. The guard is designed to match the pitch of the roof, ensuring that leaves flow over the top of it, not collecting and causing problems with your gutter.
