Gutter guards are carefully installed components of a roofing system that stop debris from collecting in gutters. They’re essential if homeowners live near tree-lined areas. However, as the video clearly shows, they can also prolong the life of any home.

When debris collects in a gutter, it starts to rot. This decomposition creates bacteria and odors that attract multiple pests. Installing gutter guards could prevent insects and other invertebrates from treating a home like a bug hotel.

Blocked gutters can also cause water to backflow onto the house, including the roof itself. When water gets into the underside of the roofing system, it can spread throughout the home and cause lasting damp and damage. A gutter guard installation effectively prevents this.

On a similar note, stopping debris from building up in gutters helps stop blockages before they happen. Leaves, broken shingles, and even litter can end up in gutters, blocking both them and the downspouts that lead to drains. Again, this can cause water to back up and flow over walls and the roof.
Gutter guards prevent roof damage. They also stop stains and help prevent pests and bacteria spreading. They could protect a roofing system for years to come.
