Prevent damage
Winter has arrived and with Winter comes harsher rainy weather combined with the falling leaves, both of which can be an absolute nightmare for your gutters. Fallen leaves in your gutter with larger amounts of rain fall can cause serious blockages that can cause irreparable damage to your building, and if not seen to, can have detrimental effects on the foundations of your building too.
If your gutters are filled with leaves, the rain can’t drain out properly. When this happens, your gutters will overflow and the water could cause damage to walls, soffits, fascias, sidings, basements, and even your home’s foundation.
Winter is here: Be ready!
And it doesn’t end there! If you don't clean out your gutters before the winter, all the debris and water that has accumulated will freeze as the temperature drops. When it’s frozen, any water from melting snow has nowhere to go, and can seep through your roof, causing water damage. A big no-no!
When the water and debris freezes, it also gets heavier, which could cause the gutters to sag. The extra weight can also cause the hardware that secures the gutters to the house to pull away or even come loose completely. In this scenario, your gutters could come clattering down, which would mean you will need to replace them or at least reinstall them, leaving you with a costly and time-consuming problem!
