Choose The Best Gutter Guards

Gutter guards have both pros and cons and may or may not be the right solution, depending on your home’s design and location.

Gutter guards can be effective in reducing the amount of debris in your gutter system around Ottawa’s weather, especially if your home is close to large trees. But not all guards are created equal, so it’s important to choose the right product. Properly installed, high-quality gutter guards can help keep both large and small pieces of debris out of your gutters while also working well in heavy rain. The wrong type of gutter guard can reduce the efficiency of your gutters and make your eavestrough cleaning more difficult.

The Best Gutter Guards To Reduce Eavestrough Cleaning

One of the biggest benefits of gutter guards is that they can reduce how often you need to clean your gutters, although you will still have to clean them from time to time. While convenience is the biggest benefit, there are other advantages, such as reducing blockages that can result in water overflowing the gutter and pooling beside your foundation or even prevent needs of eavestrough repair or gutter replacement.

In addition, maintaining your gutters with a fresh coat of paint can prolong their lifespan and enhance the aesthetic of your home. For tips on how to properly paint your rain gutters, check out our complete guide.

Drip Edge: Make Your Current Gutters More Efficient

Drip edge is an L-shaped piece of aluminum that goes under the roof and into the gutter to direct rainwater into the eavestrough. To ensure maximum effectiveness, we use a 3″ drip edge, which is longer than standard.

A good drip edge is essential to a properly functioning eavestrough system. When there is no drip edge, the water can drop between the gutter and the fascia or, worse, back up into your attic.

Many leak issues are caused because the drip edge is insufficient—or worse, was never installed at all.
