Gutter systems are an integral part of your overall roofing system and play an important role in keeping your home free from potential water damage. If your gutters are clogged with debris water will overflow them causing potential damage to your:
- foundation,
- siding,
- exterior doors,
- landscaping,
- sidewalks,
- patios,
- and driveways
It is also very important to have a professional clean your gutter downspouts because a clogged downspout is just as bad as debris in your gutters. Many times people cleaning their own gutters neglect to check the downspouts. It’s the old out of sight, out of mind thing that bites us all at on time or another.
Another important reason to have a professional clean your gutters is the safety factor, and yes, most homeowners can clean their own gutters, but cleaning gutters can be dangerous work. According to an article by Home Advisor backed by data from the Consumer Products Safety Commission, falls from ladders sent over 240,000 Americans to hospital emergency rooms in 2009 (the most recent year available).
Remember, keeping your gutters clean will save you unnecessary expenses and provide you with peace of mind and who doesn’t want that.
