If leaves, twigs, and debris are getting into your gutters despite having gutter guards installed, the guards may be loose or missing. In River Grove, IL, gutter guards are vulnerable to loosening from wind, ice damage, thermal expansion, and normal wear. A compromised gutter guard allows debris to enter the gutter, causing clogs, overflow, and potential water damage to your siding, foundation, and landscaping.<\/p>\n
Gutter guards are designed to keep debris out of your gutters while allowing water to flow through. When a guard becomes loose or missing, that section of the gutter is no longer protected. In River Grove single-family homes and ranch-style homes, this is a common repair that is easy to fix before clogs and water damage occur.<\/p>\n
