Why is gutter cleaning important?




Why is Gutter Cleaning Important?
Your (Gutter/Downspout) system was designed to catch the (maximum) flow of water from your roof. If your gutters are clogged, the water has nowhere to go except either (over) your gutters or (underneath) your facia board (roof line). It will find it's way around or in your foundation or inner walls not to mention windows. We can't begin to tell you how may people hire roofers and make unnecessary calls (ONLY) to receive a report of your gutters need to be cleaned out.
Downspout opening is very important!
Many companies will clean out your gutters. But unfortunately they don't even bother with your downspouts. Which is only doing 50% of your job. Your (Downspouts) are designed to take the water (Safely) away from your property's dwelling. If your (Downspouts) are not properly opened and flowing, the water will back up find it's way over or underneath your gutter system. It will find its way inside. And we (ALL) have watched enough news reports on flooded basements and internal water damage.How Often Should I clean out my gutter?

It is important to do this (2) times pr. Yr.
SPRING SUMMER:
(Preventative and General maintenance.) Very important. Especially if you skipped the (Late Fall) clean up and the (Spring and Summer) foliage accumulates. We also can use the water for flushing and do repairs if necessary.
LATE FALL: (General maintenance) This cleaning is (VITAL) to your property. Since the winters here are usually harsh, your gutters if not serviced (PROPERLY) will cause damage to your home. Since (ALL) trees shed their leaves and debris at this time of season it's important with rain and most notably the snow storms that (ALL) water needs to flow properly. Many people call us in the dead of winter with many problems of (Water damage) and (Ice damming) problems. This can be avoided if your Gutters and Downspouts are properly maintained.
