Prepare for Snow with Gutter Guards

Winter is always a rough time for homeowners, but with gutter guards it doesn't have to be! One of the best things you can do to protect yourself from another bad winter is to install gutter guards on your home. But how do gutter guards work, and how can they prevent snow and property damage to your home? Here we’ll go over this and more, so you can be prepared for the next big winter storm without worrying about your roof, home and dangerous ice.

 

How do Gutter Guards Work?

When a winter storm blows in, you’re going to have a roof piled high with snow. When the storm finally breaks and the sun comes out, the snow begins to melt. This is a great thing, and that’s where your gutters come in! Gutters take water in and carry it to a place away from the side of your home and roof to prevent moisture damage; when there’s too much water or it melts too slowly, you’ll begin to see problems. If you have a heated gutter guard like Ice Armor, you’ll be able to speed up the rate that ice and snow is melting, as well as prevents icicles from forming when the snow and water refreeze overnight.

 

Choosing the Right Gutter Guard for Snowfall

If you live in an area with a lot of snowfall in the winter, you need to make sure you get a winter-ready gutter guard that will help with the unique problems that snow and freezing present gutters. This means you’ll want a heated gutter guard that can withstand freezing temperatures and has a great rating for not failing (it happens, check online reviews before you settle on a gutter guard). Heated gutter guards prevent icicles from forming in the first place, and the dangers it poses to you, your family and your home. Covered gutters also prevent ice from jamming inside your gutters and warping them when they melt and freeze. Our gutter guards make an excellent choice for anyone wanting to weatherize their home!

 

Why it’s Important to Winterize Your Gutters

Winterizing your gutters should be a high priority; when you are working on your windows and doors, remember to check your gutters. Gutters can easily become warped from heat in the summer and cold in the winter; a gutter guard will help prevent these kinds of problems and it’ll keep debris like fallen tree branches and leaves from trees, hard ice and the prevention of dangerous icicles on your home.

 

Protecting your home from the elements is important, and it’s as simple as installing gutter guards! The average home owner can spend anywhere from $300 to over $1500 a year to clean their gutters, why not save time and money with gutter guards today? We offer a large selection of guards that will prevent winter gutter problems, and they’re priced in a range that you can afford. Give your gutters some love today!
