Gutter covers allow rainwater to flow in while blocking:
Leaves
Pine needles
Sticks
Large debris
This keeps gutters cleaner longer and improves water flow.
Types of gutter guards to consider:
Mesh screens
Micro-mesh guards
Foam inserts
Reverse-curve covers
Choose based on your roof style, climate, and tree coverage.
2. Inspect Gutters Seasonally
Even with covers, check gutters:
Every 3–6 months
After heavy storms
During fall if you have many trees nearby
Look for:
Overflowing water
Visible buildup or sagging
Loose or damaged sections
Water pooling near the foundation
