If you’re cleaning gutters more than twice a year, finding water damage around your foundation, or avoiding gutter maintenance because it’s dangerous or time-consuming, you’re a good candidate for gutter guards.Northport homes with mature trees, especially oaks, maples, or pines, benefit most from gutter protection. The constant debris from these trees clogs gutters quickly, leading to overflow problems and potential water damage.Signs you need guards include: gutters overflowing during moderate rain, ice dams in winter, water staining on your home’s exterior, or landscaping damage near downspouts. These problems typically disappear once quality gutter guards are installed properly.
