The Importance of Gutter Cleaning

Gutters are an essential part of your home and roofing system. Throughout winter, they collect dirt, debris, twigs, and leaves, which can lead to a backup. When clogged, they won't do what they're intended to do, which could lead to further roof or structural damage. One way to avoid these issues is by having your gutters cleaned come winter's end. 

Avoiding Damage to the Gutters

As your gutters fill up, they get weighed down and will begin to crack and bend. They'll pull away from the house, breaking the downspouts and other elements that are attached. If you have your gutters cleaned when the buildup starts, you don't have to worry about replacing them prematurely.

Avoiding Damage to the Home

With clogged gutters, the spring rainwater will not drain properly. The water will pool and begin seeping down into the walls of your home, creating wet spots that grow mold and mildew. Sometimes the water will head the other direction and spill out over the side of the gutter, which can cause damage to your landscape. It could also find its way into the foundation, creating structural damage. Avoid water damage and the costs that come along with it by having your gutters properly cleaned before spring hits. 

Avoiding Critter Infestations

Mosquitoes and other similar insects love still water. If your gutters are clogged, and the water is just sitting up there, you're more likely to have an infestation of wasps, mosquitoes, mice, and other critters that are looking for easy access to water. Cleaning your gutters will eliminate this problem.
