Regularly cleaning your gutters is crucial to prevent clogging, as clogged gutters can overflow and cause damage to your home. Gutters serve the purpose of guiding water from your roof to the ground while keeping it away from your house. However, gutters can accumulate more than just water. Leaves, debris, shingle grit, and even animals can find their way into your gutters, leading to clogs that can result in serious and costly damage.

 

When gutters are clogged, rainwater can soak into your fascia board and cause it to rot. This rotting fascia board can then allow water to leak into your attic, ceiling, and other areas of your home. Similarly, if your downspout and drain are clogged, water can leak into your basement or foundation, resulting in potential damage and dangerous mold and mildew growth. The cost of repairs for such damage can be significant, making regular gutter cleaning an essential maintenance task to protect your home.
