One ritual that almost all homeowners have to go
through every year is gutter cleaning. After all, leaves have a tendency to fall
into gutters, causing clogs that may lead to leaking roofs in the future. All
too often, this will necessitate frequent cleaning of your gutters.
If you’d like to reduce all that cleaning time,
however, why not opt for a gutter guard? Although some dirt will still manage
to enter your gutters, you’ll be keeping out the worst of any potential
obstructions. Having a professional install a set of guards will ensure that
you won’t be spending a lot of time on your ladder and roof checking on your
gutters.
When you’ve made your decision to have gutter
guards placed, you’ll still have to decide on what type you’ll use. Mesh guards
use mesh screens to filter out dirt, while reverse cutter guards are slanted to
let the water through while letting leaves fall away. Bottlebrush guards have
small brushes facing skyward to catch the debris and letting the water fall
away. Foam gutter guards are directly placed in the gutter to stop dirt from
falling in while water passes through it freely. Determine which one your home
needs most, based on effectiveness and your climate. Once you’ve made your choice, you can sit
back and spend more quality time with your loved ones.
