Tired of wasting your time high up on a ladder, dredging your gutters of leaves and other debris? Going with professional gutter cleaning is typically the best way to handle this issue, but there’s a way that you can reduce how often you need this service.
Gutter covers are pieces of material that sit on top of your gutters. Also called gutter guards, these panels have holes that allow water to drain into your gutters while preventing leaves and other debris from entering.
Why Would I Need Gutter Covers?
These covers make taking care of your gutters easier. While you might still benefit from the many reasons to clean your gutters at least annually, gutter guards can make the maintenance worry-free between visits.
With gutter covers, you’ll be able to avoid many of the common issues that homeowners face due to clogging.
Debris can cause your gutters to overflow, letting water pool around your foundation and cause damage. Similar issues can cause ice dams in the winter, which can damage your roof. Gutter covers provide year-round protection.
Choosing the Right Type of Gutter Cover
Gutter covers come in many different styles and types. Of course, the most important aspect is to choose gutter covers that fit your gutters. They’re available in all the standard sizes to suit most styles.
They also vary in terms of their covering, some featuring larger holes and some with a very fine mesh. If you’re in an area with lots of leaves and snow, you might opt to avoid the mesh and go with a sturdier option.
