What are Gutter Guards?
Gutters are basic and low cost considering how important they are: protecting more valuable parts of your home. Gutters help keep rain water off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it away from your foundation.
That means, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them work more efficiently is a smart investment too.
Gutter guards are a low cost feature you can add to any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for your gutters so large debris and pests won’t get inside of them. Installing leaf guards can be a money-saving choice that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install depends on your budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
Typically, gutter guards cost around as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. But in the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are a few of the reasons we think you should install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards help keep debris out of your gutters. Otherwise big pieces of debris settle in the gutter first, then small pieces pile up around them. Of all the many gutter guard styles, all of them block larger leaves and pieces of debris from becoming stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to flow through the gutters quickly because it isn’t blocked by any large debris or leaves. Water is one of the primary reasons for mold and mildew growth, therefore moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain is sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of gutters and off the roof can be a constant struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents animals from building nests within the gutter. Many homeowners decide to install gutter guards for no other reason than this.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards need to be removed in order to clean the gutters, but if they are installed, this job doesn’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency that you have to clean gutters – or have someone to do it for you – so that you may only have to have them cleaned only once each year.
Protection From Fires – A typical way fires spread to homes is if embers fall into gutters that have dry debris in them. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the entire house. A standard gutter guard installation can protect your home from the risk of fire.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you happen to live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temperatures, snow and ice, you’ll be happy to know that gutter guards can help prevent snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all issues that affect hundreds of thousands of American homes every year. Gutter guards protect a vital system that protects the rest of your home. If you haven’t thought about installing them before, it could be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
As you can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will be the best – how much different could they be, right? – you still have to install them correctly. In the end, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation company do the job for you.
Not only will professional installation be much more reliable than your DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer will be able to recommend the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They are familiar with all of the styles, and they will consider each factor in detail when making their recommendation.
Here are a few of the factors a gutter guard installer will take into account when deciding the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of other materials. Some gutter guards are made for temporary use while some are designed to last as long as your gutters will. The construction is a key role in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only style of gutter guards we would recommend for a homeowner to install on their own is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. Installing the other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, might damage your gutters if they’re not installed correctly.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while others are visible. If this is an important requirement, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can have, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to purchase new gutters.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short manufacturer’s warranty, however most of the aluminum models are guaranteed for 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installer in Topeka (instead of doing it yourself), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having TruClean Topeka Gutters install your new gutter guards is that we’ll return and repair them free of charge if there is an issue due to the installation from our team.
Your budget is, of course, the final factor in choosing the gutter guards you will have installed. We offer a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
