When was the last time you cleaned out your gutters? Failing to clean open-top gutters often will result in clogs, which can lead to costly damage to your home. Keeping gutters clean is paramount when it comes to them working optimally. However, there is one gutter system you never need to clean. Yes, really!
K-Guard Seamless Gutters are the only gutters on the market that require zero cleaning. How is this possible?
Why Do Traditional Gutters Need Frequent Cleaning?
If you have traditional open-top gutters or half-round gutters without gutter guards, you know how easily they can trap debris. The inside is completely exposed, allowing leaves, twigs, pine needles, and pests to get in. Living in Lynchburg and surrounding cities means we get all four seasons, each bringing severe weather. High wind speeds, heavy rainfall, and even snowstorms that can carry debris in the air will deposit it inside the gutter.
What harm can all this debris cause? For one, clogs. Clogged gutters are a danger to any home, potentially causing water damage to the roof, siding, and basement, and can lead to foundation damage. Wet leaves, silt, and sticks pile up quickly, especially if the gutters aren’t cleaned frequently. This debris forms a clog that impedes water flow, forcing water to remain on the roof, seep into the soffit and fascia boards, trickle down the siding, and collect around the foundation. All of these home components can suffer if frequently exposed to excess water. Damage like wood rot, mold, and structural damage can occur.
If you have a sectional gutter system, it has a greater risk of leaking and clogging compared to a seamless gutter system. Small gaps can form between each section, catching debris and causing water to trickle through the gutter and onto the siding and the grass below. Installing seamless gutters leads to low-maintenance and an overall better-functioning system.
What Makes K-Guard Seamless Gutters Low Maintenance?
Can a gutter system truly be low maintenance? Absolutely! K-Guard are hassle-free gutters that require low to no maintenance regardless of the type of home they’re installed on. How is this possible? First, K-Guard is seamless, meaning the gutter system is installed on a home using a continuous strip of aluminum. Unlike sectional gutters that attach small sections of gutter using tons of bolts and screws, K-Guard seamless gutters have no gaps or pieces held together with adhesive or countless bolts and screws. This means they’ll never leak.
Next, K-Guard is made of heavy-duty aluminum that will never corrode, get paint chips, or tear away from the home. This durability leads to strong gutters that will never need repainting or repairing due to rusting gutter material or sagging from severe weather.
Another thing that makes K-Guard low maintenance is that it is guaranteed against clogs. Since the gutters are installed using one continuous piece of heavy-duty aluminum, no gaps exist in the gutter system that can trap debris. K-Guard has a curved hood, acting as a gutter leaf guard that keeps all debris out. When debris like leaves and sticks fall onto the curved hood, they slide off, not entering the gutters or collecting on top of them. This results in almost zero chance for debris to enter the system. Therefore, there is a very low chance for K-Guard Gutters to clog. And, if they do, Home Evolutions VA will come clean them out at no cost to you!
