No matter what kind of screen, helmet or cover you install on your gutters, debris can still get in. Not checking your rain gutters because you think nothing is clogging your gutters can be a serious mistake. Over time, debris can build up and cause blockage that you can't see from the ground. Eventually this blockage may cause expensive water damage to your home.
Screens collapse easily.
No cover can keep everything out. Once debris gets in, it begins accumulating and blocking other debris. When clogging does occur Homeowners can't see it. This false sense of security allows the clogging to continue, eventually causing water damage to the home. Nails or fasteners holding gutter covers must be removed and reinstalled to clear debris from gutters.
