Your gutters are part of a system that helps channel water away from the house, depositing it in an area that can absorb it. But when water can’t flow cleanly through gutters, it can cause many issues.

The most apparent issue with gutters filled with leaves, twigs, and other debris is merely a weight problem. Debris absorbs water like a sponge and becomes extremely heavy, putting stress on the hanging brackets until they pull the gutters off the house.

A broken or clogged gutter can result in backed-up, stagnant water that can attract unwanted animals and insects, such as mosquitoes. Water dripping down the side of the house can lead to moldy walls, damaged paint, and rotting roofs, siding, and window sills. The water eventually seeps into the foundation, causing troublesome basements and even severe structural problems.

To prevent water damage, keep pests at bay, and maintain the value and beauty of your home, schedule your gutter cleaning for spring and fall each year. You can even set a maintenance program with us for a worry-free, sparkly house.

Why Add Gutter Guards?

Gutter guards help protect your home by keeping leaves, pine needles, and debris out of your gutters. When gutters become clogged, water can overflow and cause damage to your roof, siding, foundation, and landscaping. Gutter guards reduce the need for frequent cleanings, improve water flow, and help prevent costly repairs caused by backed-up gutters. They also help keep pests, insects, and rodents from nesting in your gutters. Adding gutter guards is a simple and effective way to protect your home while reducing maintenance year-round.
