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>

Can installing gutter guards reduce the chances of my gutters clogging?

• <div><p>Gutter guards can slow down the process of getting clogged gutters, but they won’t technically reduce your chances of it happening. They’re not a permanent solution. Instead, they’re a temporary fix where after some time, leaves and debris will continue to build on top of them and make your gutters less effective. Periodically cleaning your gutters is the best way to reduce the chances of them clogging.</p></div>

Q: How much standing water is OK in a gutter?

• <div><p>Any small amount of standing water can be damaging to your gutters. It&rsquo;s recommended that a &frac14; inch puddle or more should be addressed. Failure to keep water from pooling in your gutters can result in clogs, algae growth, and pests that damage your gutters over time. </p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to gutter guards?

• <div><p>If you don't want to install gutter guards, the most inexpensive alternative is to clean your gutters as soon as they start to fill up. You can use a leaf blower attachment to make this process easier. You can also install gutter screens, which are typically made of wire mesh, nylon, or foam. These usually cost much less than a full gutter guard installation and can reduce regular gutter cleanings. </p></div>

Q: Are heated gutters effective?

• <div><p>Heated gutters are one line of defense against ice dams. The heavy block of ice forms when warm air escapes from your attic and meets the cold snow on your roof, turning snowmelt into ice. A heated gutter system should pair with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-home-need-more-attic-ventilation.htm">proper attic ventilation</a> and the correct gutter design for your home. </p></div>

Scheduling was a problem because it is winter. I did not have to supervise the worker because he worked independently. He did the gutters on detached garage also.

Excellent! A "from the ground" vacuum system with a mirror was used. No damage to roof or gutters from ladders or walking on roof.

Stewart was recommended by others in town. He stopped by to look at my problem, and immediately recommended that we simply add another pipe at the corner, rather than redesign the existing gutter to ramp at the correct angle. He left, promising to get to it between jobs as he had time. It took a...
