As the seasons shift and trees begin shedding their leaves, your gutter system becomes especially vulnerable to blockages. Late fall is the ideal time to schedule professional gutter cleaning. Taking action before winter arrives can prevent a cascade of costly problems caused by clogged and overflowing gutters.
When gutters become clogged with leaves, twigs, and debris, that water has nowhere to go. The result is potential roof damage, structural issues, and unwanted pests, all of which are avoidable with seasonal maintenance.
- Prevents Ice Dams. One of the most damaging effects of clogged gutters in colder climates is the formation of ice dams. When trapped water freezes, it expands, forcing its way under shingles and into your roof. Ice dams can lead to severe water damage, interior leaks, and the need for expensive repairs.
- Protects Your Foundation. Water spilling from clogged gutters can accumulate around the foundation of your home. Over time, this water can seep into your foundation, resulting in cracks, basement leaks, and even structural instability. Keeping gutters clear ensures water is properly diverted away from your home.
- Reduces Pest Attraction. Damp, clogged gutters filled with organic debris create the perfect nesting ground for insects, birds, and rodents seeking shelter during colder months. Clean gutters remove this hidden invitation, keeping unwanted guests at bay.
