Gutter cleaning is a chore that’s easy to forget about; after all, gutters can easily be “out of sight, out of mind.”  However, gutter cleaning can also be one of the costliest chores to overlook.  Gutters and downspouts are installed to reroute rainwater off your house and away from its foundation.  When the gutters are clogged with leaves, twigs, and pinecones, rain will pool and spill over, creating problems that are annoying at best, and costly and frustrating at worst.  Here’s what can happen if gutters are not cleaned regularly:

• Clogged gutters will overflow and leak or drip onto your front stoop, or worse, onto unsuspecting visitors.

• Mold and mildew can grow, and bacteria can fester.

• Insect infestations can thrive undetected.

• Pollen and other allergens can accumulate and create problems for family members with allergies.

• Pooled water can rot the wood fascia and rust the gutters themselves.

• Full gutters are at risk of collapsing, which could create openings along the roofline for animals, bugs, and more water to get inside.

• Gutters laden with wet, heavy debris can pull away from the house, and will ultimately need to be replaced.

• Rainwater will pool around your foundation, and can cause it to flood --  almost always a costly repair.
