When building a new home, Gutter Guards are one of the first things you should think of to keep your home in new shape for as long as possible. Ten years down the road the siding will not be leaking, the windows will not be leaking and the gutters will not be falling off from the load they have been handling.

Beware of Imitations

The Gutter Guards simply sit in the gutter out of sight and keep everything out but water. This is if you buy the right ones. There are inferior products on the market as with anything else. When the right opportunity comes along for a great idea there will always be those who try to make a quick buck by selling a product that looks like the real thing but it is a cheaply made imitation.

Make sure you are getting the real Gutter Guard so your gutters stay clear. You will be glad you do not have to go through the weekly cleaning of the gutters. This will leave you plenty of time for raking the leaves out of your yard.

Gutter Guards are simply the best way to keep all the many things that end up in your gutters out. From tiny seed pods to the leaves and pine needles that you battle endlessly, these Gutter Covers will take care of the job. How many times have you told yourself that you need to do this or that around the house and just never seem to get to it until it is too late?

Keeping your gutters clean should not be one of those things you put off until tomorrow because once the fall leaves fall we all know what comes next for those of us in the North East part of the country. Winter! If you don’t have your gutters clean the water and leaves will freeze in the gutter making gutter cleaning next to impossible.

#1 Hospital Bills

Has this ever happened to you? You decide to clean out your gutters from all the leaves that have been falling and you are on the ladder. The next thing you know you are on the ground. Falls from ladders are one of the most frequent accidents around the home.

Do you like many others dread the time of year when all the leaves start to fall? Not because you do not like autumn season but because it seems that all you get done is clean the leaves out of your gutters. Many people feel this way and do not know what to do other than get the ladder out every few days and clean them out.

Now there is something you can do to keep your gutters from filling up with leaves and getting plugged until the water will not drain. Gutter Guards are an insert that you fit into your gutters and they will keep it free and clear of leaves and other debris. You can purchase these and put them in yourself. They are really simple to install. They do not require any hardware to install. Simply fit them into the gutters along your house and you are ready.

Gutter Guards will keep your gutters from filling up with leaves and you will not have to pull the ladder out every week, risking life and limb to clean your gutters. There are numerous advantages to using Gutter Guards as well as the absence of leaves in your gutters. Here are just a few reasons you need to install these guards:

They keep the gutters from holding standing water which will attract mosquitoes.
The weight from gutters full of standing water puts stress on them and may over time cause them to become loose and fall.
The water backs up and seeps into your home causing mold and mildew to grow because of the dampness.
Damage from water seepage can become quite costly and inconvenient.
If the water stands and seeps onto underlying window frames and door frames they will eventually begin to deteriorate.
Winter snow and ice will not accumulate in your gutters.
Water seeping into the basement of your home can cause major headaches such as foundation problems.

The gutters on your house can become filled with leaves and debris that will keep them from draining properly. When this happens water will back up and seep into any crack or crevice that is near. The water can ruin your ceilings, walls and floors when it finds a way into your home.

Mold and mildew will accumulate which will release spores into the air. This can cause breathing problems and illness for the homeowner. The simple way to keep any of this from happening is to install Contractors Filter Gutter Guards in your gutters. Made from a strong material that has been treated to withstand the weather and sun, the Contractors Filter Gutter Guard will prevent leaves from staying in your gutters while allowing the water to flow freely.

The top of our Gutter Guards are also treated with a special binder which keeps anything from growing in the foam and the sun from damaging the foam. They are also resistant to mosquitoes and other insects that may try to breed in the gutters. This is one of the problems with water standing in the gutters when they get backed up. Mosquitoes love areas like this for breeding grounds and before you know it you could have a whole mosquito farm growing in your gutters and with the West Nile Virus this is something you want to prevent.

There are many more advantages of using Contractors Filter as your Gutter Guard of choice.
