The answer is yes, provided you have a reliable and high-quality gutter protection system installed. This is because, in unprotected gutters, rainwater can pool and remain stagnant for days around accumulations of leaves, pine needles, and other debris. Standing water can weaken sealants and fasteners in your gutter system and cause premature corrosion. Moreover, sturdy gutter guards often protect gutters from becoming dented and scratched from windblown debris. This can help preserve their attractive appearance and therefore prevent the need for premature replacement out of concern for the home’s curb appeal.

Additional Benefits Provided by Gutter Guards

Although their primary job is to keep rainwater flowing freely through your gutter system so it doesn’t damage your home, gutter guards can also prevent a number of health hazards that develop in unprotected gutters, such as:

• Rats’ nests
• Mold growth
• Mosquito breeding
