Do gutter guards work in heavy rain?

• <div><p>Gutter guards work in heavy rain, but perhaps not as well. The main purpose of gutter guards is to protect your gutters from getting clogged with debris, which can be carried (or worsened) by heavy rain. However, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-ways-clogged-gutters-can-damage-home.htm">clogged gutter</a> isn’t the only reason rain isn’t traveling through your gutter properly. Other reasons include roof shingles extending past your gutters, improperly installed gutters, or incorrect gutter sizes. </p><p>If you suspect you have any of these other gutter issues, it may be more cost-effective to repair your gutters first and see if that solves the problem before investing in gutter guards.</p></div>

What are some signs that it’s time to clean my gutters?

• <div><p>It’s best to schedule regular gutter cleanings before there’s a major issue, but sometimes life gets in the way. Luckily, a few telltale signs will let you know when to clean your gutters ASAP:</p><ul><li><p>You notice built-up debris in your gutters.</p></li><li><p>Your gutters overflow with water when it rains.</p></li><li><p>Water doesn’t readily flow from your downspouts.</p></li><li><p>Your gutters are damaged or visibly leaking.</p></li><li><p>You notice evidence of leaking along your roof, siding, yard, or pavement.</p></li><li><p>Your gutters have pulled away from your roofing or exterior walls.</p></li><li><p>You see water damage on your soffits or fascia.</p></li><li><p>You have weeds growing in your gutters.</p></li><li><p>You start to see ants or other insects around your gutters or in your home.</p></li><li><p>You suddenly have issues with leaks in your crawl space or basement.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do seamless gutters increase the value of my home?

• <div><p>Yes, they offer enhanced functionality and curb appeal, often adding to property value.</p></div>

Q: Should gutters and downspouts be the same size?

• <div><p>When connecting a gutter to a downspout, make sure that both have the same outlet capacity. Meaning starting from your gutter and moving downwards, the diameter should match so you have a secure seal. Make sure you&rsquo;re working downwards when attaching the pipes (for example, the gutter fits inside the downspout) as doing the reverse will cause leaks. </p></div>

Q: Does my house need gutters?

• <div><p>While gutters aren't legally required for homeowners, they are considered essential for protecting homes against rot, mold, roof leaks, and foundation issues. Your home may be an exception if it's fully surrounded by concrete, sits at the top of a hill, has a 10-inch overhang, or stands in a practically rainless climate. If you've purchased a home that doesn't have gutters, it may be time to either learn<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-about-how-install-gutters.htm"> how to install gutters</a> or call in a local gutter company before you experience water damage. </p></div>
