Nobody likes cleaning their gutters. Climbing up a ladder every other weekend to clear out leaves and other debris is often the last item you’ll check off your to-do list, and understandably so! It’s cold, dangerous, and gross. Simply put, there’s nothing attractive about gutter maintenance.

At Blue Springs Siding and Windows, we dislike clogged gutters as much as you do, so we came up with an innovative way to make your life easier. If you live in the Kansas City area and want to get rid of gutter cleaning forever, our Gutter Defender leafless gutter guard system will keep debris out of your gutters and keep the rainwater flowing efficiently.

The Importance Of Clean Gutters

Gutters are part of your home’s rainwater management system. They help to channel water away from your property, and they also help prevent a number of other problems, including:

• Mold growth
• Deck and foundation damage
• Landscape destruction
• Infestations of termites, mosquitoes, and rodents

Many homeowners are surprised when they read the list above and learn how much damage can be caused by clogged gutters, but it’s true — clogged gutters can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home.

When leaves and other debris fall into your gutters and collect, they often build up and allow even more material to fill the space. The gutters become plugged with rotting material, and sometimes, new plants even sprout up from the makeshift compost. Plus, the water that can’t run off will become stagnant and attract mosquitoes. In the winter, water can dam up, freeze, and then cause damage to your roof and put anything below your roof in danger. In other words, there’s nothing good about clogged gutters, no matter what time of the year it may be.

How Gutter Defender Works

What makes Gutter Defender so effective? What makes it different from other gutter guards on the market?

Our gutter cover system uses the same principle that allows water to rise above the rim of a glass — surface tension. Gutter Defender’s patented nose-forward design extends past the lip of your gutter, eliminating all vertical openings. Rainwater flows across this cover and surface tension funnels it through the special contours of the cover and into the gutter while leaves, pine needles, and debris fall harmlessly to the ground. Even during heavy downpours, water is easily channeled into the gutter and away from your home.
