What Happens When a Gutter is Dirty?

It is not an easy job to clean out the gutters but if you don’t get this done, it can cause things to happen such as:

• Problems and damage in the foundation. This happens when water is pooling around the foundation and making it weak and even moldy.
• Ice dams can form in the gutter by debris that is blocking the flow of water. This can cause the gutter to break or to tear, or even fall off completely.
• Having a dirty gutter can cause the water to not run correctly and it can rot out the fascia boards or even the siding.
• Water that overflows from the gutter can flow down into the landscaping and cause there to be damage to your flowers, flower beds, plants, shrubbery and the home.
