Suspicious of Gutter Guards? You Should Be…

Not all gutter guards are created equal.

Many homeowners install cheap gutter guards hoping to eliminate maintenance, only to find that they clog quickly and make gutter problems worse. Low-quality guards often trap debris inside the gutter system instead of keeping it out.

Over time, this buildup can cause overflowing gutters, water damage, and costly repairs.

Another issue many people don’t realize is that some gutter guards are installed under your roof shingles. This type of installation can void your shingle warranty, which could become a major problem if you ever need roof repairs.

That’s why choosing the right gutter guard system matters.

High-quality systems like the Alu-Rex CleanPro gutter guard are designed differently from the cheaper options you often see online or in big box stores.
 

CleanPro uses a double-layer microfiltration system that allows water to pass through while blocking debris. Its two-stage filtration design is specifically built to handle:

  • pine needles
  • fine debris
  • roof granules
  • small particles that pass through most gutter guards

Because of this design, CleanPro provides reliable water flow even during heavy rain.

Even better, these guards come with a lifetime clog-free gutter guarantee, giving homeowners long-term protection and peace of mind.

The Truth About Gutter Cleaning

Many homeowners rely on regular gutter cleanings to keep their system working properly.

While gutter cleaning does help, it only works if it’s done consistently, typically twice per year or more, depending on nearby trees.

The biggest problem actually happens between cleanings.

Leaves, twigs, and debris sit inside the gutters for weeks or months, becoming wet and compacted. This creates constant moisture along the fascia boards and roof edge, which can slowly damage parts of your home.

Over time, this often leads to:

• fascia rot
• mold growth
• trapped moisture along the roofline
• premature gutter system wear

Another issue is weight. Wet debris becomes extremely heavy, and that weight puts pressure on your gutter hangers and brackets. This can cause gutters to sag, separate from the home, or fail earlier than expected.

Why High-Quality Gutter Guards Work Better

With a premium system like Alu-Rex CleanPro, debris stays on top of the guard instead of inside the gutter.

Because the debris sits on the surface, it dries quickly, and wind often blows it away naturally.

This dramatically reduces the amount of debris entering the gutter system and helps maintain consistent water flow during storms.

For anything that doesn’t blow away naturally, we provide a Telescopic Pole Brush that can reach up to 30 feet. This allows you to sweep debris off the guard from the ground safely, without climbing ladders.

That means:

• less maintenance
• safer upkeep
• longer-lasting gutters
• better protection for your home
