Gutters are an essential part of your homes roofing; preventing water damage below and capturing falling debris from above. A gutter blocked by debris is not fulfilling its purpose and will function very poorly, resulting in water not draining away from your roof and home. Clogged gutters are also another cause of ice dams in the winter time. There lack of drainage doesn't allow the melting snow to escape, therefor resulting in a buildup of water and ice. In addition the added weight puts stress on the gutter brackets, fittings, and seals.
Debris left in the gutters for an extended amount of time breaks down or decomposes during moist, humid weather, causing the acids in the leaves to rust your gutter. On occasions, when gutter cleaning has been neglected, debris may cause a downspout to clog or block up, we will disassemble and clean out the blocked downspout at no extra charge.
We recommend gutter cleaning at least once a year for most homes if not twice depending on the tree coverage surrounding the home.
