Valley Gutter Guard
Professional Valley Gutter Guard Installation
If you own a home in Australia, you’ve probably got valley gutters that need regular maintenance, yet they may not be on your radar. Because they sit separately to the gutters that run around the outside edge of the roof, they can often be overlooked. They also come with their own set of challenges when it comes to cleaning and installing gutter mesh.
Luckily, this isn’t something you need to stress about, because our team here at Leafshield has the knowledge, training, and experience to care for your valley gutters for you. We understand that it takes different gutter mesh sizes and fixing methods for individual valleys, so we take a highly customised approach, tailored to your roof specs. Most valley installs done by Leafshield are tiled roofs and corrugated metal roofs.
As part of the valley guard installation process, we’ll give the valley a good clean before we get to work to ensure your gutter system is clear from the get-go. We’re also more than happy to come back and take care of any gutter guard maintenance in the future.
Should I Get Valley Gutter Guard For My Home?
During heavy rain, the bottom of your roof valley-to-gutter join can be at higher risk of blockages (and for causing blockages in other parts of the gutter system) as they tend to see a greater volume of water flow and leaf debris that ends up running down into downpipes and rainheads below. For this reason, unprotected roof valleys can cause water to pool at the bottom of the valley and seep into the adjacent ceiling space. If dealing with that during a thunderstorm sounds less than ideal, it might be a good idea to protect your valleys.
The decision to invest in valley gutter protection for your home will also depend on your personal preference and your budget. Some people decide not to opt for valley guard because they don’t like the way it looks on their roof. Others are happy to risk potential future gutter blockages and damages because they don’t see the value in spending money upfront to protect their gutters.
If you’re unsure whether valley gutter guard is right for your home and circumstances, we’re more than happy to come out and assess your roof to provide upfront and honest advice. We’re not here to tell everyone to install valley gutter guard, that wouldn’t reflect well on us if it wasn’t the right choice for the home. We’ll simply offer our professional findings and allow you to make the final decision – no pressure! Valley gutter guard is a specialised service that we approach with caution.
Pros and Cons of Valley Gutter Guard
As with all gutter protection, there are pros and cons that should be taken into account before installation.
Some might see the way gutter mesh looks on the home as a potential downside. This is why we offer a massive range of colours for our customers to choose from, so they can find the right shade for their home’s aesthetic.
Valley gutter guard is often a slightly more expensive form of gutter protection (due to being a more difficult and tailored installation) which can push out some budgets. We understand this and may be willing to discuss a pricing arrangement that works for everyone involved. We can’t say we’ll definitely be able to meet your budget, but we’re happy to talk options.
Overall, we believe that the pros of installing valley gutter guard outweigh the cons. By fitting your entire gutter system with proper protection, you can reduce the risk of serious, costly damage, not just to your roof and gutters, but to your entire home, down to its foundations. Blocked gutters can cause lots of issues like water overflow into the roof, the growth of mould and mildew, burst pipes, and more.
