Your eavestroughs are an integral part of your home, especially during the fall and winter months. Ensuring that they are not full of leaves and debris means that you will avoid them becoming clogged with can cause ice dams and eventual damage to your roof or foundation. Adding gutter cleaning to your fall to-do list will help to make sure that your home stays safe this winter.
Gutter Cleaning will Help Your Home
Clearing your gutters is often not on your to-do list, but it really should be and here are a few reasons why:
1. Your gutters are likely full of leaves and debris. As those beautifully coloured leaves fall off the trees, they have to land somewhere, and it is often in your gutters. Those fallen leaves will clutter your gutter and might even provide a home for unwanted guests, such as mice and other rodents.
2. Clogged gutters can mean poor drainage. Poor drainage can cause leaks, exterior and interior water damage, as well as foundation damage. When the fall weather turns into winter cold and ice, your gutters, if full of leaves and debris, are at risk of freezing over.
3. If your gutters are full of leaves and debris, they can be weighed down, detaching or pulling away from your home, and may even detach from your home. This can cause damage and cause an unnecessary fix. Maintaining your gutters is an important task to keeping your home in good condition.
