Why Clean Gutters Matter More Than You Think
Many homeowners neglect their gutters until there’s a problem. But clogged gutters can cause serious — and expensive — damage to your home.
Foundation Damage
When gutters overflow, water pools around your foundation. Over time, this can cause cracks, settling, and basement flooding. Foundation repairs cost thousands — gutter cleaning costs a fraction.
Roof and Fascia Rot
Clogged gutters trap moisture against your roof edge and fascia boards, leading to wood rot. This can spread to your roof deck and attic, requiring expensive repairs.
Pest Problems
Standing water in gutters attracts mosquitoes, and debris-filled gutters make perfect nesting spots for birds, rodents, and insects.
