Especially in Victoria BC, because we have so many trees, the benefits of having gutter guards or leaf guards are numerous. The major reason we recommend gutter guards attached to your home gutter system is because they prevent clogging. This in itself is a side benefit because it means you don't have to clean your gutters as often. However, the real benefit that comes from preventing clogged gutters is actually preventing water damage to other parts of your home. Victoria sees a fair amount of rain each year, so if your gutters get clogged that means the water will pool out and leak along the sides of your house. This can be especially bad if you have vinyl siding where there are tiny gaps for water to cause mildew build up behind the vinyl siding. When we install gutter guards for a beloved customer, we make sure the job is done perfectly because more than anyone we're aware of the dangers when the job is not done right. If you still want to learn more about the benefits of gutter guards then feel free to contact us and we can also give you a free cost estimate over the phone. It's our pleasure to get 'er done!
