Maintaining a clean and functional gutter system is a year-round endeavor. Ferguson Roofing presents a comprehensive guide on year-round gutter protection, featuring top-notch solutions and essential tips to keep your home secure and free from debris.
1. Exploring Gutter Protection Options:
Gutter system failure often results from clogged gutters, necessitating frequent cleaning. Ferguson Roofing offers three stellar gutter protection options for your home:
EZ-Lock Gutter Guard: A basic yet effective option with steel screens that securely lock into your gutters. Powder-coated for rust prevention, these screens are easy to install and maintain.
Eco-Guard: Engineered with Diamond Syphon Technology and increased holes per square inch for optimal rain flow. Its wave feature and top angle facilitate natural debris removal, making it a productive and high-quality choice.
Leaf Relief: Ply Gem’s premium gutter protection system with a 10-year “no-clog” warranty. Allowing free water flow while wind sweeps away debris, it’s secure, nearly invisible, and resilient to damage from animals.
2. Year-Round Gutter Protection Tips:
Ensure your gutters are well-maintained throughout the year with these essential tips:
Unclog Regularly: Similar to a kitchen sink, clogged gutters impede proper drainage. Regular unclogging prevents water damage and extends the life of your gutters.
Install Gutter Protection: Consider top-of-the-line options like EZ-Lock Gutter Guard, Eco-Guard, or Leaf Relief to minimize or eliminate the need for frequent cleaning.
Add a Drip Edge: Install a metal flashing drip edge to redirect dripping water into gutters, preventing roof damage and other issues.
Monitor Structural Integrity: Regularly inspect gutters and siding for cracks, leaks, and watermarks. Close inspection ensures your gutters function effectively, contributing to their extended lifespan.
Consider Additional Downspouts: Ensure sufficient downspouts to prevent water backup and divert it effectively. Puddles near the foundation, soil erosion, or water in the basement are signs of inadequate drainage.
