Ember-Resistant Vents & Gutter Guards in Butte County, California
Replacing open attic, crawlspace and foundation vents with ember-resistant models, and fitting metal gutter guards to keep needles and leaves out.
Why this work matters
Most homes lost in a wildfire are not touched by the flame front. They are ignited by embers that travel ahead of the fire, land in a gutter full of dry needles, or blow straight through an unscreened attic vent into the insulation. Vents and gutters are the cheapest meaningful upgrade on almost any house, and they are a named mitigation item under California's Safer from Wildfires framework, which means documenting the work can count toward an insurance discount.
