Gutter Cleaning & Cover Installation


Why Your Gutters Should Be Cleaned


Gutters are integral in the protection of your roof and home. They prevent water from damaging the home and landscaping. If they become clogged or damaged, they can create a large and expensive headache. Below are just a few things that can happen if your gutters are not cleaned and maintained properly.

Roof Damage- As gutters clog with debris, water can back up and actually get into soffits, fascia boards, and under shingles. If this happens, mold growth, swelling, and even roof leaks can occur.

Foundation Damage- When clogged gutters backup and overflow, water pools below at the foundation. If not corrected, this water can erode the soil around your foundation, causing it to settle. This can result in a cracked foundation, and the shifting of floors and walls in your home.

Basement Damage- Like foundation damage, reoccurring saturation of soil from clogged and overflowing gutters can put extreme weight on basement walls. Eventually, these walls can crack, shift, and possibly create water leaks in your basement.

Gutter Damage- Gutters are installed at an angle that allows water to freely drain to downspouts, and safely away from the home. Excessive weight from this standing water can bend the gutter and alter the pitch of the gutter, thus not allowing water to run off toward the downspouts. Water that sits stagnant in the gutter then begins to rust both the gutter and downspouts.

These work by keeping debris from getting into your gutters, while allowing water to still collect in your gutters, and drain from the downspout. Our gutter screen and cover installation includes:

-Choosing the right screen or cover for your gutters
-Measuring the gutter dimensions
-Cutting the screen or cover to length
-Installing the screen or cover and ensuring a perfect fit
