Overflowing Gutters?

What seems like a minor inconvenience can quickly turn into a costly disaster for your home or rental property.

Here’s why clogged gutters are more than just an eyesore:

1. Foundation Damage

Gutters are designed to channel water away from your home. When they’re clogged, water overflows and pools around the foundation causing cracking and shifting of the foundation.

2. Roof Leaks and Rot

Trapped water and debris can cause shingles to deteriorate and wood fascia boards to rot, sending water behind your siding and into your home inviting mold and mildew into your home

3. Landscape Erosion

Overflowing gutters can destroy flower beds, erode soil, and kill plants. The water runoff can wash away mulch and create unsightly ditches in your yard.

4. Pest Infestations

Stagnant water and rotting leaves create a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, ants, and even rodents. Once pests find a way into your gutter system, it’s only a matter of time before they try to move inside.

5. Ice Dams in Winter

In colder months, clogged gutters can lead to ice dams. These thick ridges of ice prevent draining, causing water to back up into your home—resulting in water-stained ceilings and walls.
