Are gutter guards the solution ?
That depends!
In high tree fall areas there could be a benefit. Choosing the right gutter guard is crucial to achieving positive results. Every roof and it’s location is different and needs to be individually assessed.
Gutter Guards are not for everyone though, over time, sand, soil, seeds and broken down leafs often build up inside and outside the sealed gutters making cleaning much more difficult.
It is common to find small trees or moss growing where gutter guards are installed, and also rain harvesting can be compromised.Some gutter guards create a moist damp environment that insects thrive and premature rusting of gutters can occur.
