Gutter guard benefits 

• Rotting fascias and soffits - Overflowing water will cause fascias to rot, necessitating replacement. Gutters full of standing water are heavy and add stress to soffits and fascias, risking malfunction and collapse.

• Moss formation - Water filled with organic matter such as leaves and twigs will enable the rapid growth of moss and algae, a smelly and unsightly addition to the aesthetic of your home.

• Pest infestations - All sorts of creepy crawlies are attracted to puddles of standing water in gutters. Squatting rodents are also attracted to the convenient ponds filled with rotting debris.

• Leaks - If the water in a gutter freezes, it can widen the gap between the roof and shingles. When it thaws, there is a perfect gap left for water to ingress the property.

• Slipping hazards - Water that has overflowed and collected on a pathway may freeze, posing a significant risk of injury from slipping.

• Floods - One of the most common causes of floods in cellars and basement conversions is pooled water that has run off from a clogged gutter. To protect the underneath, you have to look up first!

• Damaged driveways - Pooled water on driveways will create sagging areas that eventually become cracks and potholes. Not only posing a tripping risk, but a driveway in this condition also won't do your vehicle any good either.

• Penetrating damp - The walls of a structure are porous and some of the water from an overflowing gutter that runs over them will be absorbed. This can penetrate right through to the interior of the property, damaging decorative surfaces, compromising structural integrity and providing an ideal habitat for mould growth.
