You’ve
probably heard about how gutter protection systems can help reduce
the frequency at which you have to clean out your gutters. However,
that is not the only advantage a robust gutter protection system can
provide your home. Here are three more benefits you might not be
hearing about as often:
Reduces
Rust
For
non-stainless steel gutters, the formation of rust can be a real
headache. Rusting occurs because the accumulated debris help expose
your gutters to water. By preventing debris from getting into your
gutters in the first place, you significantly reduce the chances of
rust forming.
Added
Fire Protection
In
areas prone to wildfires, dry twigs and leaves in your gutter can
quickly become a fire hazard. Installing a gutter protection system
can help add an extra layer of fire protection to your home.
No
More Ice Dams and Icicles
On
the other side of the coin, places that experience frigid winters
have to contend with ice dams and/or icicles forming on the edge of
their gutters. This happens because debris prevents water from
reaching the downspout, allowing the water to turn into ice right on
your gutters. For better protection against ice dams and icicles, a
heated gutter protection system is preferable.
