Flying wind blown embers cause a large percentage of burned structures during wildfires. When not properly maintained, rain gutters can collect debris such as leaves, pine needles, twigs, and other flammable materials.
During a fire, flying embers can easily land in clogged gutters, which act as a perfect tinderbox, igniting the debris and potentially setting the home’s roof or structure ablaze. In wildfire-prone regions, it’s crucial to address this risk early on. If a home’s gutters are full of dry debris, they not only contribute to fire danger but also impede proper water drainage during a rainstorm, which can lead to additional structural damage over time.
Additionally, metal mesh screening is the best way to prevent your gutters from becoming a fire risk. Metal covers are designed to allow water to flow freely while preventing large debris from entering the gutter. This means that there is less opportunity for the debris to dry out and catch fire, reducing the overall risk of ignition. By keeping gutters cleaner and safer, homeowners can feel more confident knowing their home is better protected during wildfire season.
