Gutters for water flow, outside for curb appeal.
Why Gutter Cleaning?
Gutter systems are designed to control the flow of water away from your home, preventing a list of problems. Here are the 5 most common issues that can occur due to clogged gutters.
Flooded Basements
The number one cause of water damage in basements is clogged gutters. When rainwater comes off your roof and has nowhere to go, it will find the path of least resistance. This is, usually, inside your soffits and siding all the way to the lowest point in the home, your basement.
Cracked Foundations
When water is allowed to settle around your home’s foundation and freezes it causes a condition called frost-heave. This can cause severe cracks to foundation walls.
Insect breeding ground
Free standing water and debris filled gutters are a paradise for several species of insects. Mosquitos, wood destroying insects, wasps, and even termites can live inside your gutters and find their way into your home.
