You've invested thousands or even millions into your home. Would you protect that investment, if you could? Did you know that one of the biggest threats affecting homes isn't a man-made one, but a natural one? And this threat could be eating away at your investment as we speak? It's moisture.
Left to travel its own path, rain can completely destroy a home. It sneaks behind siding, into walls, and even into the windows. It can pool around a home's foundation, eating away at it and getting into the basement. Once inside, it will rot the wood, kill the energy efficiency of the insulation, create a fire hazard, and form black mold. This is a recipe for disaster for homes in Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, and in any rain or snow-burdened state.
Even if your home has a quality gutter system, it could still be at risk. Along with the rain from the roof, leaves, seeds, animal debris, and bits of shingle can cause huge problems.
The only way to gutters flowing freely once they get clogged is to clean them by hand. While you're doing it, however, any number of things could happen. You could fall if the slime gets under your feet or you lose your balance, and don't forget the bees! Bees, wasps, and hornets often make homes in and around gutters and love the moisture. Thousands of homeowners go to hospitals every year with falls, broken bones, internal injuries, and allergic reactions every year. Don't be one of them.
Install gutter leaf guards and keep your gutters clear. These sit right into the gutters themselves and deflect leaves and other debris, preventing them from entering and staying in the gutters, creating an invisible line of defense against the ravaging rains.
