Clogged gutters can cause .....

Cracks in the Foundation: If you've ever had to repair a damaged foundation, then you know that this can be a costly home improvement project. Clogged gutters only add to the problem by helping water to pool around the foundation, which leads to weakened materials and potential penetration points.

Rotting Wood: Any wood fascia that exists around your house can start rotting due to clogged gutters. When the water starts to build up and stands stagnant for several days (or even just hours), the wood will start to break down and decompose, causing serious problems. Replacing all of the wood fascia around your home could cost thousands of dollars.

Ice Dams & Leaky Roofs: If your gutters are clogged up when snow sets in, you could be risking thousands of dollars of damage to your investment. Ice will fill up the gutters and then will begin to creep up your roof. Once it gets past the ice shield beneath your roof (assuming you have one) the ice will begin to melt from the rising heat in your home. Once it begins to melt it will come through your ceilings and walls and it will destroy any finishings you may have on them. If left un-attended this water could destroy your floors and cause considerable mold within the home

Insects: Because most insects thrive on moisture and humidity, you should avoid clogged gutters, which can cause a pleasant home for insects around your foundation. This is especially true if your home is constructed of wood rather than brick, which is also attractive to bugs of all kinds.

We recommend that gutters be cleaned in the spring and fall. Call us today for a free estimate at 603-751-8129.
