Do gutter guards work, and what types are available?

A: Gutters are essential to properly channel rain and melting snow away from your home. This helps to prevent basement and crawl space leaks that cause foundations to settle, crack and bow. There are three types of gutters available on the market: open gutters, screened gutters and all-in-one gutter systems. Gutter covers can be effective at blocking large pieces of debris, but they still need regular cleaning. The all-in-one AquaGuard™ Gutter Solution is designed to both block debris from entering the gutter and collect and drain roof water away from the foundation. Being completely covered and sealed, this gutter system requires very little maintenance.
