Gutter Guards Installation Company in Louisville, KY

For years, homeowners have been putting up with dirty rain gutters and clogged downspouts. Not only does this look ugly on your house, but it’s also a safety hazard.

Some of the reasons why not having gutter guards, or having poorly installed gutter guards, can represent a risk for you and your family are:

• The gutter becomes blocked, and it allows too much water to build up in the gutter. If you’re lucky, this will result in a flooded yard or garden. But, this can result in a flooded basement or crawlspace, and it may lead to mold growth which is harmful to your health.
• Water damage to your foundation. It’s not just an expensive inconvenience, but it can also cause structural problems beyond repair.
• Debris in the gutter causes more winter ice buildup than usual. This creates a dangerous situation for people walking under them on the sidewalk or driveway, and you may get sued if someone gets hurt.
• Risk of highly flammable materials. If there is a fire in your house, it can quickly spread because the downspouts are not draining properly, and they accumulate lots of leaves and debris that are very flammable, making them catch on fire and cause damage to other parts of your roof.
• Landscape damage. It’s not only the gutters and downspouts that can get damaged, but also your landscaping. You’ll end up with cracks in the pavement or plant beds, leading to expensive repairs later.
