Why do I need to clean my gutters?
Gutters are an integral part of your roofing system and require regular maintenance to help prevent damage from all types of elements. Properly functioning gutters direct rainwater away from the foundation of your home and are the best line of defense against water seeping into your home. Gutters clogged with leaves, twigs, or the tennis ball your neighbor’s son tossed up there will cause them to malfunction, potentially resulting in water damage.
What happens if I neglect cleaning my gutters?
Water damage
Properly functioning gutters direct water away from the foundation of your home, however clogged gutters can cause water to collect and seep into your basement.
Loosened gutters
The extra weight of water, leaves, and other debris can loosen gutters and cause them to start pulling away from the roof and other attachments. Gutters don't make for great lawn ornaments.
Ice dams
We live in an area where it freezes during the winter. Your clogged gutters can cause water to flow over the edge of a gutter and then freeze, forcing water into your home. Ice dams can become so heavy they can rip the gutter right off your home, resulting in costly repair bills. We will happily reinstall your gutters if that happens, but we prefer to just clean them!
Pests
Clogged gutters can become an attractive home to carpenter ants, mosquitoes and even rodents. This isn't a good thing unless you are lonely and are in need of a couple new roommates.
