Why is gutter cleaning so important? C leaning gutters is a job that nobody likes doing, but if it’s not done regularly, there can be costly consequences. Spring is renowned for windy conditions making it especially important to protect your gutters and prevent the nasty build up of leaves and debris. Flooded ceilings and rusted gutters are the most common problems people experience as a result of clogged gutters. Gutters filled with leaves and debris are known to attract nests of unwanted critters including ants, cockroaches and other insects. Leafshield specialises in all types of gutter guard including stainless steel and aluminium gutter guards. The company has a solution for any type of leaf, no matter how small including Jacarandas and fine needles and its gutter guards can be fitted onto any roof type. Leafshield can also prevent birds, snakes, possums and vermin from entering you roof and gutters. With summer just months away, now is also the perfect time to prepare your gutters from summer storms and periods of heavy rainfall. Owner of Leaf Shield Gutter Protection Sherrie

Blundell said the business can offer its customers a range of products that can keep your valleys and gutters flowing beautifully in the heaviest of downpours. “Stormwater coming into your roof due to blocked gutters or valleys can cause major problems,” Ms Blundell said. Valleys often get overlooked, but if leaves and debris build up here, water can be forced in under tiles or roofing sheets and you can end up with internal damage. “Insurance companies and repairers say that many homeowners could have prevented internal water damage if their homes had been guarded.” Leaf Shield Gutter Protection is one of the few companies that can supply and fit a successful valley guard product. Leaf Shield valley system uses saddles along the entire length of the valley on metal roofs. On tile valleys, the mesh is installed under the tiles and across the entire valley. This stops the leaves from blocking the valleys and allows the rainwater to run down the valley gutter, as designed.
