Roof Gutter Cleaning
Importance of cleaning your roof gutters:
-
Prevent Roof Damage. Water pools inside the gutter and it will flood over at the bottom of the roof.
-
Prevent Pest Problems. Insects, birds, and rodent can make their homes in a gutter clogged with leaves and debris. They can also find their way into your home through the gutter system. A clogged gutter is a common cause of pest infestation in your home.
-
Prevents Basement Flooding. When the rainwater is blocked, and it overflows the gutter, it collects just above the basement of the home. It will affect the foundation of the house over time; the water will leak inside the basement. It can cause a severe flood and also can lead to the growth of mildew.
-
Prevents the Unsightly Appearance of Your Property. The debris and leaves are clogging your gutters can be visible to other people. The water can also stain the siding of your home. These will make your home appear old and worn out.
-
Prevents Damages to Gutters. Debris in the gutter can corrode the gutter.
-
Cost-Effective. Regular cleaning of your gutter can help eliminate unexpected expenses and inconvenience of replacing your roof or repairing the damaged foundation.
-
Winter: Prevent an ice dam. In winter months, the water will freeze and either pull the gutter off or can cause an ice dam that will leak into the walls and cause the water to run down the side of your home.
