Your home is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your lifetime. So, protecting it should be one of your top priorities. Identifying issues with your home’s gutters may not always be easy to determine, especially because your gutters are installed above eye level. However, several problems with your home’s gutter don’t require you to climb a ladder to identify. If you notice any of the issues listed below, then it’s time to contact our professionals for gutter cleaning or repair service:

Sagging Gutters – Sagging gutters are often a sign of built-up debris or excess water that cannot exit through the downspout, which causes the gutter to droop or dip in the center. If the issue isn’t fixed, it could cause damage to your fascia, siding, and foundation.

Flooded Basement – When excessive rainwater spills over the edge of clogged gutters, it pools around your foundation. When the water freezes, it can cause frost heaves leading to cracks in your foundation. Water can penetrate through the cracks and into your home, causing flooding.

Plant Growth – Plant seeds get whipped up by the wind or may fall from an overhanging tree into your gutter. For many plants, gutters can become an ideal place to grow. Unfortunately, they can cause clogs in your gutters and restrict drainage. If you notice any vegetation sprouting from your gutters, contact us immediately for cleaning.

Nests – Many types of insects, including mosquitos, require water to reproduce. Stagnant water also creates the perfect environment for termites and cockroaches to nest.

Dirty Siding – Clogged gutters will cause water to spill over the edge. As the dirty water moves along your siding, it will build up in the cracks and crevasses. Bundle your gutter cleaning and repair with a home power washing service and save time and money.
