The importance of renewing your Gutters

Homeowners always want to fix up their home and take care of their property, so it is important that once or twice a year you invest in new renovations to keep your home modern and up to date. You should also take the necessary precautions to keep your house protected and safe from different types of damages.

Gutters play a very important role with the health of your home. When your gutters become clogged, water can spill over the side of your gutters leading to a variety of expensive and serious water related problems.

At US ROOFING Contractors Contractors located in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Alabama, we give five important reasons to renew your gutters:

1. Keep your basement from Inundation:

Clogged gutters can put your clean and dry basement at risk. As water accumulates at the base of your home, it can leak into your basement and cause flooding. Not only is this a pain to clean up, it can ruin your valuables that you may have stored in your basement.

2.  Prevent Roofing damage:

Roof repairs or replacement can be very expensive. To keep your roof in excellent shape, it’s important to have clog-free gutters. When your gutters clog, water can back up onto your roof, leading to leaks and erosion over time. 

3. Protect against Foundation damage:

Clogged gutters will cause rainwater to run down the side of your home and accumulate at the base of your property. That standing water can contribute to serious and costly foundation damage as it will erode and weaken your property’s structure.

4. Prevent fascia damage:

Your fascia is in close proximity to your gutters. As your gutters become clogged with leaves, maple seeds, pine needles, and other debris, rainwater will flow down the side of your fascia. This can leave unsightly staining on the side of your home, and contribute to mold and mildew problems that can be a headache to remedy. 

5. Prevent mold and mildew:

Clogged gutters not only put your home in danger, but your family’s health, too. In fact, clogged gutters can lead to the development of mold. Unfortunately, these harmful micro-organisms may cause serious damage or evoke allergies in you and your family. Keeping your gutters clear and clog-free is important for keeping your home mold and mildew free.
