The Importance of Clean Gutters

The roof of your home and the siding around it are the two largest features that make up a home.

Believe it or not, your gutters serve an integral part in making sure your home stays dry and water is properly collected and displaced.

Rainwater is typically collected by your roof and channels down to your gutters, which in turn displace water through downspouts to prevent water from penetrating your home’s siding and windows.

However, clogged gutters can disrupt all of this.

• Gutters to overflow, causing ground erosion
• Pooling around your home’s foundation due to incorrect water drainage
• Gutters loosen from the fascia and begin to pull away from your home
• As gutters get stripped and pull from the house, rain can penetrate home through the siding and in between roof and fascia boards!

While this might seem a little doom and gloom, this won’t happen with proper gutter inspections and cleaning annually.

It only takes one stick to clog a downspout, but it only takes one click to get your gutters inspected!
