Why Do You Need Gutter Guards in Melbourne?
You see, Melbourne gutters are under assault from the area’s most popular tree species. This explains why choosing the best gutter guards is a Melbourne homeowners’ top priority when it comes to protecting their gutter system.
Since organic debris is easily carried by the wind, leaf guards are useful even if you don’t have trees dotting your property. With gutter guards, you can spend less time balancing on a ladder to scoop muck out of your gutters.
How Do Gutter Guards Work?
You know how once your spaghetti is done cooking in the pot, you have to place your hands into that scalding water to scoop out the noodles? Hopefully not! That would be completely ridiculous. No, instead, you pour the hot water and the noodles through a strainer so the water can drain out of the pan.
Gutter guards work in a similar way.
Metallic leaf screens fit over the top of your home’s gutters. They filter out large leaves, twigs, and debris so the rainwater can drain into the gutter system like it’s supposed to.
Therefore, these larger bits of organic matter don’t clog the system. Instead, they settle on top of the gutter guard and either drop over the edge or blow away. Smaller bits of organic debris that get into your gutter system is now easily washed through the next time it rains.
Just remember that leaf guards are a “low maintenance” accessory, not a “no maintenance” accessory.
Are Gutter Guards Really Worth It?
Due to the sporadic deluges of heavy rain that hit Melbourne, gutters that are free-flowing without any obstructions are an absolute necessity. Leaf guards do wonders in blocking leaves and most debris.
But pine needles and other small bits of nature can still find their way through the slats of the filter. No gutter guard is 100% foolproof. Most of these small bits will work their way through your rainwater system during the next heavy rain (especially if you have seamless gutters installed), but you’ll still want to clean your gutter system periodically.
