“I’ve got gutter guard, so my gutters never need cleaning.” 🚫
Unfortunately, that’s one of the biggest misconceptions we see.
1️⃣ While quality gutter guard significantly reduces the amount of debris entering your gutters, it doesn’t eliminate maintenance altogether. Tiny leaves, dirt, seed pods and organic matter can still make its way through the holes and slowly accumulate over time.
2️⃣ Choosing the right gutter guard is just as important as maintaining it. A finer, 2mm mesh is often ideal for homes surrounded by smaller debris such as gum leaves, jacaranda seeds and pine needles, while a 4mm mesh may be suitable where larger leaves are the primary concern and water flow needs to be maximised.
Every property is different. The best system depends on the roof design, surrounding trees and the type of debris your home is exposed to.
Gutter guard is a fantastic investment - but it’s not a “set and forget” solution. Regular inspections and maintenance will ensure it continues protecting your home for years to come. ✅
