Why Gutter Cleaning Is Important?

Annual gutter cleaning although costly can prevent a couple of issues around your home. If you are a landlord or property manager take note of these issues.

• If the gutters become too full the hangers can pull from the fascia board and cause the gutters which are made out of aluminum to bend and possibly pull the hangers off.
• If the gutters are full the water could run on the back side of the gutter, eroding the facia board, and into the drywall. This would require mold remediation and new drywall.
• If the water is not draining at the bottom of the downspout, it could cause water to leak in around the foundation of the home. Professional waterproofing of a basement or crawlspace can cost in the range of 10,000 to 20,000.
• Rodent or insect infestation. As stated before if the gutters are full the wood could become a landing ground for bugs. I personally have seen mosquitoes make homes in the gutters and it creates quite an unpleasant outdoor experience for the clients until we arrive to the scene.
