Why gutter cleaning is important?

Gutter cleaning is an important maintenance task that should not be ignored. The main purpose of gutters is to keep water out and away from your house.  When clogged gutters overflow, the following will likely happen and cause damages far exceeding gutter cleaning services costs. Attached are pictures of what a gutter full of leafs and debris looks like.

1. Water overflowing onto your house foundation causing cracks and creating stains on stucco and siding.
2. Wood rot. Ice dams occur when water freezes inside clogged gutters. The ice can push against the roof and walls, and increase the threat of mildew and rot.
3. Falling gutters. When gutters are overloaded with debris, water or subsequent ice, they get heavy and gradually pull away from the house and can fall
