Leaf Guards: 5 Reasons You Should Consider Them

At Bradley's Custom Gutters, we know that gutters are an essential part of any home's exterior. They help protect your home's foundation from water damage and prevent erosion around your property. However, gutters can become clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris, which can lead to costly repairs and maintenance. That's why we recommend installing leaf guards on your gutters. Here are five reasons you should consider them.

Reduced Maintenance
Leaf guards can help reduce the amount of maintenance your gutters require. Without them, you would need to clean your gutters regularly to prevent clogs. This can be a time-consuming and often dangerous task, especially if your gutters are high off the ground. With leaf guards, you can significantly reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutters, which means less time spent cleaning them.

Improved Water Flow
When your gutters are clogged with leaves and debris, water can't flow through them properly. This can lead to overflowing gutters and water damage to your home's foundation. Leaf guards prevent debris from entering your gutters, which helps improve water flow and protects your home from water damage.

Extended Gutter Life
Clogged gutters can put a lot of strain on your gutter system. Over time, this can cause damage to your gutters and shorten their lifespan. By installing leaf guards, you can extend the life of your gutters and avoid costly repairs or replacement.

Pest Control
Clogged gutters can provide a breeding ground for pests like mosquitoes, termites, and rodents. Leaf guards prevent debris from accumulating in your gutters, which can help reduce the likelihood of pests making their home in your gutters. Additionally, the screen itself acts as a barrier for larger pests to nest inside the gutters.

Increase Home Value
Leaf guards are a valuable addition to any home. They improve the functionality of your gutters, protect your home from water damage, and reduce the amount of maintenance required. This can increase your home's value and make it more appealing to potential buyers if you decide to sell.
