Why You Need to Maintain your Rain Gutters (Roof Drainage Systems)
Gutters fill with leaves and other debris and become clogged. No matter what type of gutter system you have, it must be kept clean to do its job. Even if you have screens over your gutters, small particles from your roof will get past those screens and eventually clog your roof's rain gutters.
When clogged gutters overflow, it can soak the siding or facia, sometimes causing paint to peel, which can lead to rotting wood and damage to your roof line. And damp wood is nothing more than a breeding ground for mold, mildew and other nasty things...including termites. Termites LOVE damp wood! Mosquitos are also drawn to standing water in your drainage system!
Look for early signs of clogged gutters: stain streaks on the gutter and fascia or erosion in the flowerbed below - and make sure you clean the gutters before extensive damage might occur!
Don't neglect the importance of gutter and downspout cleaning.It will help you avoid costly future repairs for years to come. Keeping your rain gutters clean is vital in protecting your home from water damage.
Rain Gutter Cleaning Maintenance (Frequency)
The average house needs just one rain gutter cleaning a year. There are times however, if your house is surrounded by trees, both evergreen and/or deciduous, where one gutter cleaning will not suffice. Having free flowing rain gutters when wet weather hits can give you peace of mind that your house is protected from the dangers of standing water or overflowing gutters. If you have any questions at all about our gutter service or want to set up an appointment, please don't hesitate to call.
