Prevents Water Damage:
When your gutters are clogged with debris, water cannot drain properly. This can lead to many different issues. When the water gets backed up, it starts to overflow on the back and the front sides. It will eventually rot the facia boards, combined with the extra weight, this will cause the screws/nails to pull out which leads to the gutters sagging and potentially falling off. In most cases, this will void warranties with gutter companies.Â
In addition to the facia board damage, water could run down into the inner walls, insulation, windows and ceilings and cause rot, and mold spores.
Protects The Foundation:
With the water overflowing, the runoff can start to pool around the foundation putting your foundation at risk to damages like cracking, shifting and settling. Properly cleaned gutters ensures water runs away from your foundation.
Prevents Pests:
When leaves, dirt, other droppings from trees gather in your gutters, it creates an ideal environment for bugs and rodents. Getting your gutters cleaned twice a year prevents your gutters from becoming a breeding ground for them.
Preserves Landscaping:
