There’s heavy rain in the forecast. Are your gutters clean and clog-free? It’s smart to be concerned about clogged gutters because your home can be damaged when gutters clog and overflow.  

Shield Your Home from Water Damage with Gutter Guards

Do Gutter Guards Require Maintenance?

Gutter guards do require maintenance, although significantly less than unprotected gutters. The type and frequency of maintenance depend on the specific type of gutter guard installed and the environment around your home. Here are some general considerations:

1. Cleaning Debris: While gutter guards prevent large debris like leaves and branches from entering the gutters, smaller debris such as pine needles, seeds, and dirt can still accumulate on top of the guards or in the gutters. Periodic cleaning is necessary to ensure that these materials don't clog the guards or gutters.

2. Inspection: Regular inspections are needed to ensure that the gutter guards are securely attached and functioning properly. This includes checking for any damage or wear and tear, especially after severe weather events.

3. Moss and Algae Growth: In damp and shaded areas, moss and algae can grow on the gutter guards. These growths should be removed to maintain the efficiency of the guards.

4. Seasonal Maintenance: In areas with heavy tree cover or during certain seasons (like autumn when leaves fall), more frequent maintenance might be needed to clear accumulated debris from the surface of the guards.

5. Preventing Ice Dams: In colder climates, ice can build up on the guards, potentially leading to ice dams. Ensuring proper attic insulation and ventilation can help mitigate this issue, but the guards themselves may need occasional attention to prevent ice buildup.

Overall, while gutter guards greatly reduce the amount of maintenance required compared to unprotected gutters, they are not completely maintenance-free. Regular checks and occasional cleaning will help keep them and your gutters in good working condition.
