Top Reasons to Book a Gutter Cleaning

Avoid expensive water damage
When your gutters are clogged full of debris it causes water to overflow and cause havoc. Water flows into the structure of your roof, into your walls and ceilings, and even down into your home’s foundation. All of which will cause extensive rot, cracks, leaks and other damage resulting in expensive repairs to critical structures of your home or the gutters themselves. 

Prevent a pest infestation 
Gutters full of leaves, sticks, and other debris are prime nesting and breeding grounds for pests of all kinds. Birds, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents and more will take advantage of neglected gutters, which can lead to more home damage or health issues for your family. 

Reduce lawn and garden flooding
When it rains on your lawn and garden, you want to prevent your gutters from pouring on them as well. Clogged gutters can send floods of excess water into your landscaping, causing a muddy mess and garden destruction. 

Live in a cold winter climate? Watch out for ice dams

While clogged gutters are not the actual cause of ice dams, they definitely worsen the problem. When snow and ice begins to melt off your roof, the water is blocked by your gutter debris. As the freezing temps return, the blocked water begins to freeze with the debris, causing a heavy loaded ice dam that can cause costly damage to your gutters and your roof.

Bottom line, as with most home maintenance, if you neglect gutter cleaning, it can ultimately cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

The Househappy Home Concierge team recommends scheduling a service for the tail end of the fall when all of your leaves are down or almost down. It depends on the tree climate in your region.
