Why you should consider gutter guards for your home
At their basic function, gutters are a trough that is designed to collect rain water and carry it away from your home's foundation. With the gutter designed to "collect" water, it will inevitably collect things other than water such as roof granules, leaves, seeds, etc. For gutters, anything that isn't water will impede its ability to effectively manage rain water
Prevents clogs from leaf debris
This is the principle reason most homeowners in North Carolina install gutter guards. North Carolina is home to many tree types, most notably pine, maples, and dogwoods which drop their leaves/seeds in the autumn. More often than not, this tree tree debris will collect in gutters causing them to overflow or clog. When a gutter is clogged or overflowing, the water can get behind the fascia or pool in areas causing wood rot, mold and further damage.
Sheds roof granules
Most roofs in North Carolina are asphalt shingles which are easily recognized by their rough texture created by small "granules" that are adhered to a fiberglass mat. Over time, these granules will loosen and separate from the shingle, often times ending in the gutter. Ideally, with the right gutter design and pitch, these granules will still flow out of the gutter with rain.
Increases the lifespan of your gutters and fascia
Gutters are normally attached through the fascia board using a screw or nail type fastener. Gutters can carry an immense amount of weight especially during storms and their carrying capacity is greatly reduced if it is already full of debris. In our experience, gutters can weigh 3x-5x more than their original weight with the amount of debris they can hold. With this excess amount of weight and time, this can cause the gutter to either separate away from the fascia or pull the fascia away from the house. This can lead to further damage such as wood root and pest intrusion
