Many homeowners never think to clean their gutters until they notice a problem. Once realized, it may be too late to simply clean the gutters. Repairs and replacements of gutters, leaders, siding, fascia boards and soffits must take place now. Water can also make its way into the home creating a mold issue. Gutters allow rain water to keep from collecting on the roof, running down the sides of your home, and from splattering onto your landscape and foundation.
Here are 6 reasons to keep your gutters and leaders clean:
- Heavy rain and snow can back up under roof shingles and into the roof and eaves. Saturated wood will quickly rot your roof and disintegrate the structure. Water will then enter into the home.
- Water that sits in your gutter for extended periods of time attracts insects, rodents, bees and wildlife.
- Water that sits in your gutter weighs hundreds of pounds and will eventually pull the gutter and fascia away from the home causing damage.
- Leaders that are clogged with leaves and branches cause water to back up and flow over gutter and into the home.
- Water that overflows the gutter and onto the ground below destroys the landscaping and may also allow excess water to penetrate the foundation and into your basement.
- Clogged gutters that are holding too much weight can result in damage to the brackets.
Many of these problems can be avoided by regular maintenance. The cost to maintain can be minor in comparison to repairing damage and or replacing damaged structure.
