Can Rain Gutter Guard completely eliminate the need for gutter cleaning?
While Rain Gutter Guards significantly reduce the amount of debris that enters the gutter, occasional maintenance may still be needed to remove any buildup on top of the guard or fine sediment that may collect over time under the guard. However, this maintenance is much less frequent compared to open gutters.
Is Rain Gutter Guard suitable for all types of roofs?
Yes, most Rain Gutter Guard products are compatible with the common roof types found in Australia, including corrugated metal roofs, tiled roofs, and Trimdek roofs. These roofs are widely used across Australian homes, and Rain Gutter Guard can be effectively installed on each type to enhance rainwater collection and prevent debris buildup. However, it’s always best to check to accurately match the gutter guard system/kit to ensure the right fit for your specific roof design.
How does Rain Gutter Guard impact rainwater quality?
Rain Gutter Guard acts as a pre-filtration system, preventing leaves, twigs, and other debris from contaminating the collected water. This results in cleaner rainwater that requires less filtration before use.
What is the lifespan of Rain Gutter Guard?
The lifespan depends on the material and quality of the product. Aluminium Rain Gutter Guard can last 20+ years with proper maintenance, while plastic options may need replacement sooner.
Should I install Rain Gutter Guard myself or hire a professional?
DIY installation of Rain Gutter Guard is a great option for homeowners looking to save money and take control of their home maintenance. Many modern Rain Gutter Guard systems are designed for easy installation, requiring minimal tools and basic handyman skills. By following manufacturer guidelines, homeowners can successfully install their own gutter protection, ensuring efficient rainwater collection without the added expense of professional services. However, for those who are unsure about the process or want extra assurance, professional installation remains a great option.
