Gutter cleaning is not a pleasant chore, but it is absolutely critical to help prevent what could be major damage to your house, not to mention very expensive. It is something that every homeowner (with a home that has gutters) has to do for many reasons. Gutters work to keep water from pooling up at the base of your house around the foundation and saturating the ground. If too much water sits on and in the ground around your house’s foundation, you could end up with more cracks in your foundation, water in your basement, mold and mildew in your house, and even complete failure of your foundation. Yikes! Get those gutters cleaned out. Over the course of the year, debris like leaves, dirt, sand, seeds, sticks, and twigs can clog the gutters and downspouts. The result is that water overflows the gutters; in that case, it’s as though you do not even have gutters and then you’re looking at the problems mentioned above. So get ‘em cleaned out at least one time per year, preferably twice (spring and fall).
