Why Winston-Salem Homeowners Should Invest in Gutter Guards to Prevent Water Damage

Gutters are built to carry water away from the home, but can easily become clogged with leaves, pine needles, and dirt, resulting in water backup, and water overflows. Often times water can back up, overflow, and cause expensive problems like foundation crack repair, roof damage, and mold remediation.

That's where gutter guards come into play.

The Hidden Dangers of Clogged Gutters

When gutters are clogged the water has no place to go but into spaces water shouldn't be (into siding, into basements, pooling about the foundation of the home). Even a single storm during Winston-Salem's rainy season can result in lasting water damage. Homeowners can then deal with the following overtime:

• Erosion, cracks, and sinking of their home foundation
• Roof leaks and damaged shingles
• Mold and mildew growth in the home
• Insects and rodents attracted to the home since standing water means pest infestations

How Gutter Guards Solve the Problem

Gutter guards provide a protective filter that keeps things out without stopping the water flow (5 systems). This means: 

• Less gutter cleaning

• Year-round protection from overflow 

• Less likelihood of costly repairs from water damage

• Longer life of your roofing system
