GUTTER MAINTENANCE
Are there gutters that don’t need cleaning or maintenance? The short answer is “no.”
Gutters require regular maintenance for them to keep functioning properly. After all, they fulfill an important role in keeping your home safe from the elements. Gutters guide rainwater off of your roof straight to the drain where it would not affect the structural integrity of your home. Most importantly, keeping them clean can help you avoid the costly repairs expense for a malfunctioning gutter and a damaged home.
Despite the huge need for gutter maintenance, it can be easy to take gutters for granted and forget about them only to be caught unaware when it clogs or overflows. Most gutters are magically integrated into the design of every home putting it virtually out of sight. A lot of people wish for gutters that don’t need maintenance.
Why do gutters need maintenance?
Whether you have a plastic gutter or a steel one, gutter maintenance is unavoidable. You need to maintain your gutters to prolong its life and prevent common gutter problems. There is no gutter system that does not require any sort of maintenance. Leaves, dirt and other debris can build up in your gutter. E ven small animals that get caught inside can cause a blockage. This buildup can, in turn, increase the weight of the gutter, tilting it down and causing water to overflow.
The best thing that you can do is to prolong the period in between gutter cleaning sessions. To do that, you need a gutter system that is protected by gutter guards. Leaf guards help prevent leaves and debris that can get stuck in your gutters. Some gutter guards can also reduce the risk of fire damage to your home in bushfire-prone areas.
