Expert Gutter Guard & Leaf Guard Installation in St. Louis, St. Charles, Florissant, Ballwin

Many Names For The Same Thing

Gutter guards go by many names, including the following:

• Gutter screen
• Leaf guard
• Gutter cover
• Leaf filter
• Gutter helmet
• Leaf screen
• Gutter brush

It's raining cats and dogs outside. As you observe the downpour and listen to the intense pelting on your roof, a single thought occurs: "I hope my gutters aren't clogged."

Clogged Gutters can Flood your Basement and Damage Exterior Siding & Trim

When a gutter clogs, bad things happen. In a heavy downpour, a clogged gutter will fill quickly with water and begin to overflow. Water gets dumped exactly where you DON'T want it: against your basement walls.

As the soil around your foundation becomes saturated with water, hydrostatic pressure often causes water to leak into the basement.

In addition to causing basement flooding, clogged & overflowing gutters can damage patios, decking, and plants around the perimeter of your house. Clogged gutters will also cause wood siding, sheathing, and trim to rot, requiring expensive repairs.

Gutter Guards Protect your Property and Provide Peace of Mind

There are many different types of protection against clogged gutters. In fact, the protective screens or covers designed for gutters go by many names (see "Many Names For The Same Thing" above). At Roofers Nation, experience has taught us that screen-type gutter covers work best. With this type of gutter guard, one edge of the screen tucks under the bottom course of roof shingles, while the other edge is secured to the outside edge of the gutter. We like the fact that this type of guard can be removed if necessary –like when a gutter section is damaged by a fallen tree limb, for example. When they're installed correctly, screen-type gutter guards enable you to enjoy rainstorms rather then dread them.

Some Gutter Guards Work Better than Others

Testing by Consumer Reports revealed that some types of gutter guards work better than others. For example, solid covers that force the water to travel over and around the guard keep leaves and other debris out of the gutter but can't handle the water flow of a heavy downpour. The fine screen gutter guards that we install had the best test results, keeping gutters clear while moving maximum amounts of water through the drainage system.
