Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance: Beware of These 4 Warning Signs

professional gutter cleanersHomeowners have many responsibilities, and taking care of their gutters can often fall by the wayside. Neglecting gutter care, however, can lead to some serious structural issues and result in shelling out a significant amount of money for repairs.

That’s why it’s best to not only take care of your gutters yourself but hire professional gutter cleaners to fully ensure all aspects of your home are protected. Here are some reasons to call professional gutter cleaners in order to take full advantage of their gutter cleaning services:

  • Damage of any kind — Even the slightest crack in your gutters can turn into major problems and result in you spending a lot of money for large repairs. However, when you hire professional gutter cleaning technicians to take a look at your gutters early enough, they will be able to identify any problems and address them right away.
  • A lot of rainfall is expected — If your gutters are clogged prior to a major storm, even a few hours of rainfall can completely wreck your gutters. In fact, even an inch of summer rainfall can accumulate nearly 1,500 gallons of water onto your roof and gutters.
  • Water pooling around your home’s foundation — Just because your gutters seem fine from afar doesn’t mean they are in good shape. Don’t just look at your gutters to find out if they are in jeopardy of causing problems. If you notice any water accumulation surrounding your home, that could indicate that your gutters aren’t functioning properly and need to be thoroughly cleaned and possibly repaired.
  • Water damage underneath your gutters — Similarly, if there are any signs of water damage to your home’s structure, you should contact skilled gutter professionals. This kind of water intrusion can wreak havoc on your home’s foundation.
