Why Clean Out Your Gutters?
When was the last time you cleaned out your gutters? We recommend cleaning out your gutters at least twice per year, typically in the spring and fall. However, this could be even more if you live in a heavily wooded area or an area with heavy rains.
Benefits of Regular Gutter Cleaning Services
Regular maintenance may seem like just another chore, but it’s critical for preventing a variety of damaging effects that could cost thousands of dollars to fix, including the following:
- Water damage: Clogged gutters prevent proper water flow, causing water pooling around your home’s foundation, which can lead to structural instability, foundation cracks and basement flooding over time.
- Roof damage: Rainwater can back up on the roof when gutters are full, leading to mold, damage and rot.
- Fascia deterioration: The weight of clogged debris in gutters can pull gutters away from the fascia board.
- Landscape erosion: Overflowing gutters can dump water onto walkways and gardens, eroding soil and damaging landscaping, plants and mulch.
- Mold, mildew and pest infestation: Standing water accumulating in clogged gutters becomes an ideal breeding ground for mold, mildew, and insects.
- Heavy snow buildup: Meltwater has nowhere to go when gutters are clogged, and it can seep into walls, ceilings, and foundations, causing structural damage, mold growth, and expensive repairs.
- Risk of fire spread: When leaves and other debris build up in gutters, it creates a layer of dry, flammable material that can ignite if exposed to embers during a wildfire.
Prevent Costly Repairs
Regular professional gutter cleaning can help save money in the long run by preventing costly repairs brought on by neglect.
| Maintenance Type | Frequency | Annual Cost | 5-Year Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Cleaning | 2x per year | $200 – $400 | $1,000 – $2,000 |
| Neglect & Repairs | Variable | $2,000 – $10,000 | $10,000 – $50,000+ |
Plus, DIY gutter cleaning can take 4-6 hours every few months. That’s over 100 hours across 10 years! Do you want to spend your weekends on the roof? Reclaim your weekends and allow the professionals to do their thing.
