Are Clean Gutters Actually Important?
In short, yes. Keeping your gutters clean will offer an array of benefits for your Houston home, including:
- Protecting your foundation from accelerated decay
- Discouraging animals from nesting
- Eliminating potential leaks in your basement and to your roof's fascia boards and soffits
- Discouraging potentially hazardous mold, mildew and insect infestations
How To Clean Gutters
Your Critter Control of Houston technician will take several important steps while cleaning your Houston gutters, using a combination of specialized equipment such as pressure washers and other gutter cleaning tools. After cleaning your gutters, your technician will install Leafproof and Leaf Defier gutter guards to protect your home at one of its pain points.
Leafproof Gutter Guards
Leafproof gutter guards are installed over your existing gutters and work to effectively direct leaves and other natural debris off your roof. They also help direct water into the gutters. A direct benefit of the Leafproof guards, in addition to the exceptional protection from natural elements, is that wildlife no longer has anywhere ideal to nest because they are unable to chew through the aluminum material.
Leaf Defier Gutter Protection
When used in conjunction with the Leafproof gutter guards, the Leaf Defier helps to keep your gutter maximally protected. The insert is made of polyurethane and fits in your spouting to help direct the water out of your downpipe effectively. This lightweight product protects thousands of homes throughout the country, saving headaches and money for residents—and your Houston home is no different.
