Gutters are a necessary part of your outdoor drainage system. In order to protect your roof and the siding of your home, it is important to have strong gutters that can withstand the heavy rains, snow melt and fallen leaves that come with all of Canada’s seasons. There are many things that can clog your gutters besides leaves. Pine needles, twigs and seeds can also cause major blockages. These are the types of materials that draw birds and rodents to make homes in your gutters, increasing chances of blockages and pests. As well, a blocked gutter can cause mildew and damaging mold in your attic. In order to effectively protect the investment you put into your home, it is vital to ensure that your gutters remain clear of debris. Blocked gutters can lead to major home and foundation damage. They can cause flooded basements as well as destroy the landscape of your home.

 

 

While it is important to ensure your gutters remain clear, cleaning them is no simple task. In fact, people constantly injure themselves when trying to clean their gutters, due to unstable ladders or by slipping and falling. The chore is not only tedious, and difficult, it can be dangerous if you do not have a systematic and professional approach.

 

 

By installing gutter screens, you can protect your gutters from the harsh elements. A gutter screen effectively reduces the chances of blockages more than anything else. Water will be able to flow away from you home with ease, leaving your home fully protected. In addition, should you decide to clean your own gutters, a screen will make the task significantly easier.  A gutter screen will catch leaves, twigs and pine needles and you will not have to dig deep to scrape out rotting debris.
