Protect Your Gutters from Fall Debris

Posted on September 22, 2017 in Gutter Repair

Today is the first official day of fall, and that means in the coming weeks, we’re going to start seeing a lot more leaves on the ground. However, the ground isn’t the only place you’ll be seeing leaves. Every fall, dozens of leaves get stuck in homeowners’ Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania gutter systems, and cause problems.

Leaf Buildup

Your home’s gutter system is designed to trap water and carry it away from your home and its foundation. But when leaves get caught in the gutters (whether they landed there when they fell off the tree or they were blown there), they disrupt the flow of water.

What’s worse, if they pile up throughout the fall season and winter comes, you could experience a buildup of ice dams. These dams will make it impossible for water to enter your gutters and will cause a water backup that can lead to roofing, siding, and eventually interior water damage.

An Easy Solution

Luckily, P.J. Fitzpatrick is an expert in Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania gutters, and we know a very simple way to prevent all of this from happening. We offer what’s called a Gutter Protection System that can help prevent gutter leaves while still allowing precipitation to drain through.

In addition to protecting your gutters, this system will also protect your home’s exterior, interior, basement, and foundation – plus, it comes with a lifetime transferable warranty.

Be a step ahead of fall and call us today for your very own Gutter Protection System.
