Video: 2 Considerations for Choosing Gutter Covers

When it comes to rain gutter covers, there are so many variables and nuances that are important to understand. With rain gutter covers, there are so many different options to choose from and varieties, and they're based on the type of roof that you have, the type of debris, the pitch of the roof, and those are variables that are extraordinarily important.

The most important variable is the type of debris that you have going into your system. Redwoods, pine needles, eucalyptus, oaks, bay leaves are extraordinarily acidic and they rot out the grain gutter rapidly. Another important aspect to gutter covers is the pitch of the roof. We want to make sure that a gutter cover is installed properly and the gutter cover that you're receiving is the proper one, because if your roof is pitched too steep, the water will just come straight off.

The gutter cover keeps out the organic debris that clogs the system, which causes irreversible damage to the system.
