Gutter Cleaning
Importance of gutter cleaning
It is very important in controlling the flow of rainwater to protect your roof, walls, foundation and landscape. Gutters can get clogged with leaves, sticks and other debris which can cause a leaky roof or water damage to the interior or exterior of your home.
Here are the seven signs that will tell you if your gutters need to be cleaned or repaired:
- Gutter is sagging.
- Staining along your siding.
- Standing water near your home's foundation.
- Critters are crawling into your gutters.
- Birds are flocking to your gutters
How many times should you clean your gutters a year.
Many professionals will only recommend that you clean your gutters two times a year: once in the spring and another time in the fall. However, depending on your city's climate and the number of trees near your home, you may have to clean your gutters more frequently.
