As one of the most forgotten or overlooked maintenance areas of the home, the gutters are one of the most important. Gutters play a surprisingly intricate role in protecting the home. Standing water left on your roof can lead to unwanted leaks, as well as structural damage. Not to mention, having water run down the side of your home will cause water to leak into the interior of the home, as well as the basement.
Having a properly working gutter system will prevent unwanted leaks to the roof, siding, and basement. A proper gutter system will also assist in maintaining a longer life to your siding material and paint. Gutter systems deter water, mud, sand and leaves from splashing on to the side of your home. Thus, giving not only your roof and basement a longer lifespan; it gives your houses exterior a longer life span as well. You can also depend on gutters to protect from excessive water damage to walkways, wood decks, doors and garage doors.

Living in the Northwest, we are very familiar with our elements. When autumn comes…so do the leaves! These leaves end up all over the road, our lawns, and of course on top of our roofs and in our gutters. If we are lucky, our gutters don’t get clogged every year. To prevent clogging of the gutters you have available gutter protection:
- Screens: The name is basically self-explanatory. A screen is installed on to the top part of the gutter to prevent any large objects like leaves or twigs from entering the gutter.
- “In the Gutter” System: This system consists of a foam, brush or other type of material used as a filter that is placed inside the gutter. This allows water to enter the gutter and any type of object to stay out.
