We know that gutters are channels that divert rainwater from our homes. While they work effectively, they can cause destruction if not properly maintained. If you’re wondering how gutters could damage, or even ruin, your home, the experts at Leaf Guard Gutters will enlighten you in this article.

Clogged Gutters Are Heavy

When it rains hard, water can flow over the edges of gutters and along your home’s foundation. This doesn’t only pose a threat to the foundation, but it can also cause the gutters to tear away and damage the eaves of your roof. The solution lies in gutter protection from Leaf Guard to keep debris out, so you won’t have to worry any more about clogs and the associated damage to your home.

Damaged Wood and Paint

Potential damage to the foundation when water backs up over gutters isn’t the only concern. If you don’t know that a clog exists, water can work its way through cracks, damage paint, and cause wood to rot. Remember, your home is not designed to handle prolonged and direct exposure to water. The damage caused by clogged gutters can be extensive and very expensive if not detected early.

The Seams Catch Things

Conventional gutters have seams that encourage clogs because they catch things. The best solution for this problem is to install seamless gutters because they are manufactured with minimal intrusions or projections. Eliminate the chore of cleaning your gutters and protect your home with a seamless gutter system from Leaf Guard. The patented covers are guaranteed to keep out debris, dirt and anything else that can cause clogs.
