Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of hidden, expensive residential property damage. When autumn leaves, twigs, and debris block your downspouts, rainwater overflows, pooling directly against your foundation, rotting your fascia boards, and backing up under your roof shingles. Routine, thorough gutter clearing flushes out the entire system safely, ensuring heavy storm runoff flows away from your home’s structure and protecting your foundation from costly settling or basement leaks.
