It’s easy to ignore your gutters. Even when they become clogged with sticks, leaves, and pine needles, you may only notice that your gutters are overflowing during torrential downpours. Even though you may not notice it, your clogged gutters can cause many problems. When water doesn’t have a clear path through your gutters and into the downspout, it will begin to overflow and leak through joints. A professional gutter cleaner can offer you gutter cleaner solutions to combat all of these problems. Some of the common issues that occur due to overflowing gutters include:

• Flooded Basements – When rainwater begins to overflow, it often finds its way into your siding or soffit. Once the water starts flowing into your walls, it can pour down into your basement, causing flooding and water damage
• Cracked Foundations – It’s important to direct water away from your home, so it doesn’t pool around your foundation. When rainwater gathers around your foundation, cold weather will cause it to freeze and crack your home’s foundation.
• Rotten Wood – Rainwater that overflows will cause excessive moisture in your fascia and can even leak into the wood within the walls of your home. Over time, this moisture will cause rot, mold, and other wood deterioration.
• Insect Infestations – Insects are attracted to freestanding water for several reasons. Wood-destroying insects, mosquitos, wasps, roaches, termites, and other unwanted pests may decide to stick around if your gutters are not cleaned regularly.
