Why You Should Clean Out Your Gutters
To Prevent Expensive Water Damage - If your gutters and downspouts are clogged, the water that runs off your roof can't flow away from your house. Water will always go down the path with the least amount of resistance, which could cause damage to your roof, siding, trim, and even the inside of your home. If your downspouts are broken or clogged, the water may not flow away from your home's foundation as it should. In colder places, clogged gutters can also make it take longer for snow to melt and run off the roof, which increases the risk of ice dams.

So That Your Gutter System Stays In Good Shape - Even though gutter systems are made of high-quality materials, they are not made to hold the weight of leaves, pine needles, and other debris. These foreign things keep water in the gutters and stop water from going down the drains. This puts more stress on your gutter system and makes it less stable.

When gutters are too full, whole sections can come loose from their anchors, gutter seams can leak, and downspouts can get clogged and break. If gutters aren't cleaned for a long time, the overflowing organic matter will quickly break down into "organic soil matter," which will fill up many gutter systems. Freezing temperatures can also cause ice and icicles to form, which can add to extra weight.

To Cut Down On The Number Of Bugs And Other Pests Around Your House - Many homeowners don't know that standing water in clogged gutters is a great place for many annoying insects, like mosquitoes, to breed. When gutters are full of trash, other bugs and rodents can use them as a quiet place to live. If you check your gutters regularly, you will also know if any new animals have moved in. Look for things like nests and beehives.

Cleaning your gutters and making sure they can flow freely is a good idea, but doing it may be a bit more difficult. Be careful when you use ladders or climb onto a roof. Keep an eye out for power lines and other lines that run above your home. Cleaning out your gutters can be a great way to add to your home compost pile. You can also check with your local government to see what their composting rules are. If you want to hire someone else to do this boring job, look for a good gutter cleaning service with references or a quality guarantee.
