Importance of gutters cleaning

It is important to know the gutters have a very important purpose for the home, as they collect rain water and circulate it through downspouts so that it can be safely moved away from the home. 

Large concentrations of leaves and debris that get caught in the system can clog it up at its downspouts, thereby preventing water from draining correctly during rain showers and storms. This can cause water to pool up in the gutters, eventually overflowing and dumping water all around your home’s foundation. This can lead to an array of problems, such as basement water intrusion, yard erosion and mold growth, then damage can result in a number of different locations, from your roofing to your foundation. 

US ROOFING Contractors give you five reasons to make sure that your gutters get cleaned out:

1. Roof Damage:

When debris and leaves clog up your gutters to the point that water is flooding over, you can end up having issues with rot on your roofing. 

2: Damage to Brackets:

Clogged gutters are holding too much weight, which can result in damage to the brackets.

3. Cracks in Foundation:

If water overflows and pools along your home's foundation, it can end up freezing, which can cause it to expand and generate cracks in your foundation.

4. Keep Out Pests:

Clogged up gutters can be appealing to a number of critters as a nesting site. From birds to mosquitoes.

5. Overwatering Garden Beds:

If your gutters become clogged to the point that water is spilling over the side and into your garden beds, you can damage your plants' health by essentially drowning them.
