The Best Way to Prevent Clogged Gutters: Eavestrough Guards

Why Fall is the Season for Eavestrough Guards

As Ontario homeowners know, fall brings more than just cooler weather and colourful leaves. Yes, the summer is over (sucks, we know!), and this means you need to think about preventing clogged gutters to avoid serious damage to your home. Leaves, pine needles, and debris can quickly fill your eavestroughs, blocking water flow and putting your home at risk of damage.

Adding eavestrough guards is one of the smartest upgrades you can make before autumn sets in. Guards keep debris out while letting water flow freely, which protects your siding, soffit, fascia, and even your foundation from costly water damage.

Why Clogged Gutters Cause Serious Problems

When eavestroughs fill with leaves, water no longer drains the way it should. When this happens, you get:

Overflow which causes stained eavestroughs and siding and rotted fascia boards
Water pooling around your foundation, which can easily seep into the basement
Freeze in the winter which will create heavy ice buildup (which can destroy your gutters and cause lots of damage)
Accumulation of damage to the soffits and roof edges over time

The bottom line is that ignoring clogged gutters can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs. Eavestrough guards are designed to stop these problems before they start.

The Alu-Rex Advantage

Not all gutter protection systems are the same. At The Eavestrough Company, we install Alu-Rex Gutter Guards, which are among the best in the industry.

T-Rex® Continuous Hanger™

Reinforces the eavestrough along its entire length

Supports up to 250 pounds per linear foot

Protects against clogging while keeping your gutters straight and strong

DoublePro® Microfiltration System

Designed with two layers of perforated aluminum to block even the smallest debris

Ideal for homes surrounded by trees

Provides maximum protection against clogging and overflow

These systems are long-lasting, low-maintenance, and a smart investment for water damage prevention.

Do You Really Need Eavestrough Guards?

If your home is surrounded by trees or you’ve had issues with water overflowing in the past, the answer is yes. Even if you don’t see a problem right now, guards extend the life of your eavestroughs and give you peace of mind year-round. It’s an investment into the future protection of your home (and the cost to install them is far less than the cost to replace your eavestrough because of damage from clogged gutters).

They also eliminate the need for risky ladder climbs to clean gutters every fall. With guards in place, you can enjoy the season instead of worrying about your roofline.
