Benefits of Gutter Cleaning
If maintained properly, your home’s gutters can last anywhere from 20-50 years. While it may not sound enjoyable to regularly clean your gutters, having your gutters cleaned at least twice a year will help you make most of your home investment by preventing any damages from occurring to your roof, siding and attic.

Since there is no way to channel the water away from your home’s foundation, your chances of having structural damage are significantly increased.
On the other hand, leaves and twigs may serve as nesting and breeding sites for mice, insects, and birds. These pests may carry deadly diseases, putting your family at risk of contracting a virus above possible structural damage.
During the winter, clogged gutters also commonly trap ice and add unnecessary weight to the roof or gutters of your home. Having a well-maintained gutter system will help guide water away from the roof and prevent it from pooling, and freezing in one area.
Dangers of Not Cleaning Your Gutters
Though it may be unpleasant, clearing out your gutters is a necessary task, especially before the winter season begins.

In extreme cases where water begins to overflow in your gutters and leak down your home’s siding and exterior walls, water often leaks into your basement – a homeowner’s worst nightmare.
And if that isn’t bad enough, wet and moist walls also provide optimal conditions for mold and mildew growth. Flooding and water damage to the ceilings, walls, and floors are also possible outcomes, which can cause serious damage to your entire home.
