How Our Gutter Cleaning Service Works
|
Why Does My House Have Gutters?
The gutter system of a house is designed to move water down from the roof and away from the home and it’s foundation for proper drainage. Water that gets caught up in the gutters finds the easiest path out when it tries to drain and this often means it works right into the walls and ceilings of your house.
Giving your gutters a good cleaning is an essential part of being a homeowner but it’s often overlooked. Many of us wait until it’s too late in the fall season to have their gutters cleaned. Delaying this essential cleaning exposes your home to potential damage. By cleaning your gutters a couple of times a year, you’ll save yourself the headache and long term damage costs.

THICK DEBRIS
A top issue with gutters filled to the brim with leaves, twigs, and other debris is simply a weight problem. When that debris gets wet it absorbs the rainwater and becomes extremely heavy. This puts stress on the gutters and can pull the gutters off the house. Falling gutters are costly enough to replace on their own, not to mention any lights or windows they smash as they come crashing down. |
BLOCKED WATER
Overflowing water from the gutters can also damage the paint and siding on your home, but unsightly water marks down the side of the house pale in comparison with what happens if the water get inside of a wall. Wet wood rots and loses its integrity, and this can go unseen behind the siding until it is too late. |
Even flooded basements, sagged and cracked driveways and walkways, and cracking foundations are other symptoms of clogged gutters. If water isn’t drained away from the house and it pools around the foundation it will expand when frozen and cause cracks which lead to floods in your basement or crawl space.
When Should Have My Gutters Cleaned?
Though there is no perfect formula for this very common question, it is vital to clean your gutters regularly to avoid overflow and damage. Leaving your gutters unchecked and uncleaned can result in the gutters pulling away from your house (due to weight), water overflowing with medium to heavy rain, and this could in turn lead to damaging your foundation, sidewalk, or driveway (not to mention costly repairs)!
