The Gutterman of TN has the solution to preventing clogged gutters: SafeGuard Gutter Guards. Here’s what you need to know about the SafeGuard Gutter Guard System.
Why SafeGuard Gutter Guards?
SafeGuard Gutter Guards provide a gutter guard system, unlike others. With SafeGuard Gutter Guards, a micromesh stainless steel overlays the gutter on a durable metal frame. When water pours down the roof, it’s able to enter the gutters through the ultrafine openings in the mesh. The mesh is so fine, however, that leaves and twigs and the smallest debris isn’t able the enter and clog the gutter. In addition to its unique micromesh technology, SafeGuard Gutter Guards offer additional advantages over other types of gutter guards, including:
- The ability to fit over existing gutters. SafeGuard Gutter Guards can be installed as part of an overall gutter system. But if your gutters are still in great shape, you can have them fitted with new SafeGuard Gutter Guards, saving you money on new gutter guards.
- Stronger supports. SafeGuard Gutter Guard System include gutters that are fitted with stronger supports than normal gutters. This means your gutters will hold up better and be less prone to drooping or sagging over time.
- Larger gutters. SafeGuard Gutter Guard Systems feature 6-inch gutters and 3-by-4-inch downspouts. These larger gutters and downspouts accommodate water from the heaviest rainstorms or snow melts so your gutters won’t overflow. Water is also safely ushered away from your home’s foundation.
- Modular construction. SafeGuard Gutter Guards are installed in pieces. That means if your gutter guards are damaged by a falling tree or another disaster, the individual damaged piece can be replaced without interfering with the rest of the gutter guard system.
- Custom colors. SafeGuard Gutter Guard systems come in a variety of colors so you can choose the gutter system that complements the look of your home.

What are SafeGuard Gutter Guards?

What sets SafeGuard Gutter Guards apart?

Gutters don’t seem like a great habitat for living things, but there are plenty of animals who would happily make a home or seek shelter in your gutter system, especially if there is debris in the gutters. Animals in your gutters are more than a nuisance; they can damage the system, use the gutters to gain entry into your home, or even pose a health hazard. Here’s what you need to know about animals in your gutters and what you can do to keep them out.
Animals you might find in your gutters
You might be wondering what types of animals like to nest inside gutters. It may be surprising to learn that a variety of animals commonly make their way into gutters. Some animals who like gutters include:
- Squirrels populate nearly every neighborhood, and they’re notoriously good climbers, so it’s no surprise that squirrels are often found in gutters where they can nest or hide food. Squirrels in gutters can be a problem particularly for homes that have a lot of branches hanging over their roofline.
- Birds. Not surprisingly, birds will nest in gutter systems. Gutters are especially welcoming if they’re already filled with a layer of debris that can be used as a base for a nest.
- Possums and raccoons. They might seem too large to fit, but possums and raccoons enjoy the quiet shelter of gutters. That can cause a major problem, not only because of the weight and stress they put on gutters but also because they will bear and raise offspring in gutters.
- Cats. It’s no secret that cats like the high ground. Gutters provide them the sheltered vantage points they enjoy. Unfortunately, that means that your gutters might attract feral cats to your home.
- Snakes and lizards. It’s not uncommon to find snakes and lizards lurking in gutters. They’ve been known to climb tree branches to gain access to gutters or make their way up downspouts.
Keeping animals out of the gutters
Animals in the gutter can cause all sorts of problems. That’s why you should take the necessary steps to keep pests out of your gutters. Some strategies include:
- Cleaning your gutters. Keeping your gutters clean is important for a variety of reasons. It removes nesting material for animals, and it upsets any animal nests that have already been made.
- Trim back trees. Overhanging tree limbs create a pathway to your gutters for animals. Trimming tree limbs away from your gutters can help block animals’ paths to your gutters.
- Create alternative habitats. Giving animals better alternatives to your gutters can help keep them away from your roofline. Consider adding bird or squirrel houses to your yard. Planting trees and shrubs, as well as low-growing cover, away from your home also encourages animals to nest and seek shelter there.
- Install gutter guards. One of the most foolproof ways to keep animals out of your gutters is by installing gutter guards. Gutter guards will block any possible entryway into your gutters, preventing any damage they could cause while still allowing water to pass through.
If your gutters need to be repaired after being damaged by animals, or if you’re ready to keep animals out of your gutters with gutter guards, call The Gutterman of TN to schedule a consultation today!
Gutter guards have become increasingly common — both in application and in advertising. When it comes to gutter guards, you can’t do better than SafeGuard gutter guards from The Gutterman of TN. While the benefits of gutter guards might seem fairly straightforward, there are plenty of benefits of gutter guards that you might not have even considered.
Never clean your gutters again!
The most obvious benefit of gutter guards is what most people are looking for when they consider gutter guards: Maintenance-free gutters! Gutter guards keep debris out of your gutters, saving you from having to clean your gutters multiple times every year. What you might not realize is that many types of gutter guards still let some debris in, or will collect debris on top. SafeGuard gutter guards are different! With SafeGuard gutter guards, you truly won’t ever have to climb a latter to muck out your gutters ever again.
Keep pests out of your gutter and away from your home.
You might not realize it, but gutters offer an inviting environment for pests and provide some animals with entry into your home. Unguarded gutters can play host to mice, birds, squirrels, and nests of mosquitos or other insects. Gutter guards keep animals from nesting in your gutters, or from entering your gutters and finding gaps in your home’s siding or seams that allow them to gain entry into your attic or walls.
Prevent gutter overflows and water damage around your home.
When gutters are blocked, they don’t perform their function of shuttling water away from your home’s structure and your home’s foundation. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up into your home’s eaves and under your roofline. Overflowing gutters can cause water to flow down your siding, seep around your windows and pool around your home’s foundation. All of this can cause serious problems in your home, from mold growth and water-based rot to basement flooding and foundation damage. SafeGuard gutter guards keep your gutters flowing and prevent water damage in and around your home.
Stop ice dams.
Ice dams can cause a major headache during the cold-weather months. The heat in your attic melts the snow on top of your roof, causing it to flow down toward the gutters. If the gutters aren’t ready to usher that water away, the water re-freezes as the colder edges of your home. As cold weather persists, the ice buildup can grow larger and larger. It can damage your gutters and your roofing, and force water back into your home.
Extend the life of your gutters.
Believe it or not, gutter guards can actually extend the life of your gutters! When gutters are clogged with debris, they can become weighed down and sag and warp away from your home. The supports can fail, and the gutters can crack. The wet, rotting debris can cause rust and an overall breakdown of the gutter. Because gutter guards prevent the buildup of debris, they can prevent the breakdown of your gutter system and extend its overall lifespan!
If you don’t want to deal with cleaning your gutters again, and if you’re ready to realize all of the benefits SafeGuard gutter guards have to offer, call The Gutterman of TN to schedule a consultation today!
