Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters direct water runoff and debris away from your house. When not maintained, they can’t do their job properly. Blocked gutters can cause standing water, leaks in your roof and walls, and costly structural damage.
Clogged gutters can also lead to a damaged foundation and basement flooding. Rainfall can't drain properly and water pools around the foundation, weakening it. A gutter clog can also impact landscaping and curb appeal.
