Keeping Gutters Clean to Prevent Water Damage

9/20/2019 (Permalink)

Ideally, gutters clear the water from your roof and move it safely away from your home. Clear gutters help to prevent leaky roofs, water damage to the attic, and water coming in through your home’s foundation.

Twice a year, it is very important to clear your home’s gutters. Leaves, seeds, twigs, mud, nests, and other debris can clog the gutters and prevent strong water flow.  When water has nowhere to go, it pools and can seep into areas it should not, which can cause water damage to your home. If you do not feel you can safely perform the job yourself, please hire out the job to a professional.
