Gutters are meant to take on water that runs-off the roof and disperse it away from your home. This prevents flooding because it moves the water away from the foundation, as to prevent it from absorbing into the walls of your home. Allowing gutters to overflow cannot only be an eye sore but it can be something that can cause serious damage to your home.
Gutter Cleaning is a necessary measure to take to keep a home's value and to prevent future repairs to the home. Gutters must be cleaned at least twice a year and possibly even more depending on the amount of trees and falling debris are present in your area. The first of the two gutter cleanings should take place in the spring, and then the second in the fall. These times of years are recommended because of heavy leaf fall and heavy rains that occur.
Our gutter cleaning is done by hand to guarantee a debris free, spotless, clean gutter every time. We also bag up the debris from the gutters as part of the service.
Why do I need gutter cleaning? That is a great question. The purpose of gutters are to collect and redirect water runoff from your roof, to limit and avoid damage to your home. If you have trees within 50 feet of your home, you have leaves falling in the gutters.
It only takes a couple of handfuls of leaves to fall throughout a system and be carried by water to the downspouts to create a clog. These clogs will prevent water from flowing through the system, working like a dam. Water, with no where to go, will pool, fill, and overflow the system. This will cause oxidation to aluminum gutters, rusting in galvanized gutters, rotting of soffit and fascia boards.
