Gutter cleaning is not exactly the best past time
– the process can be messy, tiring and for people who are not comfortable
climbing ladders, it can even be dangerous. Fortunately, there is a way to
reduce the frequency of Orlando roofing company gutter cleaning sessions and to prolong the life
of your gutters: with the help of gutter screens.
Here are some of the benefits
of installing gutter guards:
-
Reduced maintenance needs –
the purpose of gutter guards is to prevent debris, such as leaves, twigs and
feathers, from getting into the gutter pipe. The guards let only water through,
thus reducing the risk of gutter clogging, therefore they are great help for
any homeowner who is not passionate about gutter cleaning;
-
Corrosion protection – the
debris that forms gutter clogs absorbs moisture and keeps it in, exposing the
interior of the gutter pipes to moisture for too long and increasing the risk
of corrosion. Gutter guards prevent debris accumulation, allowing the gutter
surface to dry quickly, thus preventing corrosion;
-
Pest attack prevention – gutter
pipes are very attractive for birds, insects and small rodents and one of the
main causes of clogging is that your uninvited animal visitors lay their nests
in the gutter. Gutter screens prevent the access of such animals and they also
prevent pests from taking up residence inside your home.
