Keep Your Gutters Clean and Functional with Potter's Seamless Gutters LLC

Avoid Insect and Mice Infestation

One of the primary benefits of gutter filters is that they can stop insects and vermin, such as birds, bats, squirrels, mosquitos, and spiders, from breeding in the gutters. In simple words, gutter filters will reduce the amount of stagnant water sitting in your gutters. Thus, your home becomes unattractive for vermin, birds, and insects to use gutters as the breeding ground.

Alleviates Gutter Freezing and Ice Dams

In case water gets trapped in the gutter during winter, it can freeze and lead to ice dams. Even though gutter filters alone do not prevent ice dams, gutter guards prevent debris from accumulating in the gutters. This, in turn, alleviates ice dams.

Prevents Untimely Rust and Corrosion

As moisture-ridden debris and leaves sit in the gutters, it increases the likelihood of rust or corrosion forming in the gutters. Gutter filters prevent pine needles, leaves, and other debris from accumulating in the gutters. Thus, the filters can help extend the life of the gutter by preventing rust and corrosion.

Improves Gutter Water Flow

Installing a gutter filter can improve the water flow through the downspouts and gutters as they prevent them from clogging up. It is an excellent advantage of gutter filters, especially when you have a rainwater tank. The guards help the tank refill faster when it rains. Moreover, your tank will have cleaner water as it is filtered out of debris and contaminants.

Stops Blockages

In case your gutter overflows during heavy rain, it might get blocked or clogged. Thus, it can benefit from gutter filters. Overflowing gutters are dangerous as flowing water can damage the foundation of your property. Moreover, overflowing gutters can result in unsightly stains on the property’s exterior.
