8 Reasons You Should Finally Clean Your Gutters

Cleaning out the gutters is a dirty job, so it isn’t any wonder that many homeowners avoid this chore. Your gutters are essential to the protection of your house and allowing them to become clogged can lead to serious problems that require expensive repairs. Unclean gutters risk damage to your home and the health of your family.

If you’ve been putting off this crucial task, you should consider these reasons why you need to clean your gutters soon:

To Mitigate Water Overflow

Clogged gutters prevent water from flowing freely and smoothly through the system. When this happens, water can overflow and cause damage to your house and yard. In addition to regular cleaning, some systems may also need gutter splash guards to manage the effects of water overflow.

Overflow can lead to mildew, rot, peeling paint, and soil erosion. Clean gutters help to prevent these serious issues by allowing your gutter system to work as it was designed.

To Prevent Damage to Your House, Roof, and Foundation

Clogged gutters prevent your system from working properly, which can cause extensive damage. Your roof and house are vulnerable as water backs up in the system. When your gutters aren’t working properly, water can pool around the foundation of the house, leading to water damage and cracks.

The debris that collects in gutters can be heavy, particularly the longer you wait to clean. This additional weight places strain on the system and your roof, increasing the probability that your gutters will pull away from the house. This stress also reduces the life of your system, leading to costly replacement in the future.

To Preserve Your Lawn and Landscaping

Your lawn and landscaping are the first things people see when they pull up to your home. Unclean gutters can cause water to pool and runoff, which may harm your lawn, destroy your landscaping, and erode your soil. If you spend time making your yard beautiful, you should also take the time to clean your gutters regularly to prevent your hard work from going to waste.

To Avoid Mold, Mildew, and Rot

When your gutters are not properly cleaned, they allow mildew and mold to form on your home. Both are unsightly and may compromise your health and the health of your family. Prolonged exposure to water can also lead to rot, which can be expensive to repair.

To Stop Infestations

The packs of leaves and other debris that form in clogged gutters are ideal homes for a variety of pests. These include insects, rodents, birds, squirrels, and other organisms. Maintaining your gutters is an important part of pest control for your home.

To Protect Your Basement

One purpose of a gutter system is to prevent water from pooling around the foundation of your home. When this happens, water can leak into your basement, leading to water damage and mold. Your gutters are just as critical to protecting the inside of your home as the outside.

To Save Money on Repairs

Cleaning your gutters is an inexpensive solution to many potentially expensive problems. Repairs to your home and yard are often more costly than homeowners anticipate. Additionally, an improperly maintained gutter system will need to be repaired or replaced much sooner than one that is regularly cleaned.

To Maintain the Value of Your House

Your home is likely your most valuable asset, and you care about preserving it. That means consistently attending to its maintenance. Regularly cleaning your gutters will help to preserve a system that is important to protecting your home from damage.

Don’t allow another weekend to go by without cleaning your gutters. Your home and your family will thank you.
