Many homeowners push off gutter cleaning because doing it yourself can be tedious and even dangerous if you aren’t careful.
Here’s why you shouldn’t ignore this crucial household task and how to make it easier with professional help.
Water Damage
One of the most common issues of ignoring gutter maintenance is water damage. Clogged gutters can’t channel rainwater away from the home’s foundation — the most important job. This causes water to overflow and run down the side of the home.
Water that passes over cracks can find its way into your home and cause a range of challenges from mold growth to structural issues.
Pest Infestations
There’s no better environment for pests than one with lots of twigs and leaves for nesting. Avoiding proper maintenance allows for debris, twigs, sticks, and other materials to accumulate, attracting many unwanted pests. Regular gutter cleaning prevents pests from properly nesting, therefore keeping them away from your property.
Higher Home Maintenance and Repair Costs
Ignoring gutter cleaning can lead to a variety of issues that are easily avoidable. Investing in professional gutter maintenance means you won’t have to do it yourself, nor will you have to pay the price and deal with the headache of extensive repairs down the line.
Water damage and pest problems alone can be costly, but potential damage to your foundation could cause an expensive and long-lasting problem.
