Why do I need to have my gutters cleaned?
When gutters fill up with leaves, sticks, or nests, they can’t do their main job. Gutters are meant to keep water away from running down the side of the house or sitting stagnant. Without proper waterflow in your gutters and downspouts, you risk many, potentially expensive problems down the line, including:
- Rotted soffits and fascia
- Cracked or leaking foundation
- Soil erosion
- Damaged landscaping
During winter season the weight caused by ice and additional weight from the debris in your gutters can also cause your gutters to pull away from your home causing several other problems, such as mold and mildew.
