Gutter protection can stop more than just leaves from invading your gutters, other objects like tennis balls and dead birds are notorious for blocking gutters.
There have been cases worldwide, where a single adult dead pigeon has been the cause of 100s of thousands of dollars damage to shopping malls. We regularly find dead pigeons on roofs. If not removed, the dead pigeon may travel downstream towards the downpipe sump, when a large storm hits, the pigeon can be forced down the pipe entrance and totally block up the system.
Gradually, thousands of litres of water will bank up on the surrounding roof area, placing more and more weight on the structure. With the water pressure increase this water will start to back flood inside the complex, worse still, some roofs have collapsed under the sheer weight and closed down the entire shopping mall. This type of roof collapse is unlikely to occur with pitched roofs, but most modern shopping centres have extensive sections of flat roofing. Grayson’s Gutter Guard can bird proof your roof!
