Why You Should Invest In Gutter Guards

Premium Gutter Installation and Repair Services

Failing to take care of your gutters can lead to clogs, overflow, and damage to your home’s foundation. However, we understand that gutter cleaning and maintenance isn’t one of the most pleasant tasks for any homeowner. In fact, it can even be dangerous.

At Iron Horse Gutter Works, we’ve made it our mission to protect your home by ensuring your gutters are in top working condition all year round. One of the best ways you can be proactive in your gutter care is by installing top-quality gutter guards.

Below we’ll go over some solid reasons to install high-quality gutter guards for your home. By the end, we trust you’ll see their value and how they make homeowners’ lives easier.

Gutter Guards Protect Your Home

When your gutters aren’t doing their job, your home’s foundation is at risk. Clogged gutters lead to overflows that allow water to pool in in the wrong places, potentially leading to basement flooding and structure shifting. This can also cause damage to landscaping and hardscaping like concrete paths and driveways.

Clogged gutters can also put the health of your roof at risk. When water pools in your gutter, it can flow under eaves and cause damage to your roof. This is especially dangerous during the winter where dangerous ice dams can form.

Gutter Guards Extend The Life Of Your Gutter

When gutters are clogged for an extended period of time, especially during the winter when ice can continue to accumulate, this puts a lot of strain on the system and can cause them to sag and eventually break, exposing your home to damages and requiring you to install a whole new gutter system.

By preventing clogs before they happen, you’ll be able to extend the life of your gutters and ensure they can do their job of protecting your home for years to come.

Gutter Guards Keep You Safe
