Gutter Cleaning

Understanding Gutters

Gutters are designed to channel water from the surface of the roof to a designated drainage area, preventing water from pooling on the roof or around the foundation. When functioning properly, gutters collect rainwater and direct it through downspouts away from your home. However, when gutters become clogged with leaves, dirt, and other debris, they fail to drain effectively. This can cause water to overflow, putting extra strain on the roof structure and leading to potential damage. Additionally, overflowing gutters can cause soil erosion near the foundation, which may result in foundation weakening and other costly issues. Regular maintenance ensures gutters work efficiently to protect both your roof and foundation.
