Gutter Cleaning Maintenance Plans

There are many positives and negatives to owning your own home. One of the downsides is all the maintenance you are responsible for from the foundation to the roof. Depending on where you live, this may be fairly easy or incredibly time consuming. If your home is located in a thicket of trees that rise above your roof, you probably have to think about gutter maintenance every year.
​
Not cleaning your gutters means their primary purpose, directing water away from your home, may be compromised. This could lead to water damage of your foundation or siding. Your downspouts may also become clogged with debris, which is difficult to flush. During fall, the accumulation of leaves or nesting critters may make cleaning your gutters individually difficult.

Annual Maintenance and Common Problems
Doing your own gutter maintenance is risky. Ladder-related injuries account for thousands of injuries every year. Construction defects you may not see immediately can also put your home at risk for damage.

​A professional can safely clean your gutters with cutting edge gutter cleaning technology and evaluate your gutter system for inherent flaws. Flaws may include poor sheet metal work, irregular sizes, and ineffective supports. In addition to these issues, common problems maintenance professionals encounter include:

• Standing water. Standing water in gutters can cause erosion, mosquitoes, and siding and foundation damage. Maintaining your gutters can save thousands of dollars from standing water damage a year.
• No flashing. Absent flashing at the eaves can cost several hundred to several thousand dollars to repair. Flashing protects the wooden roof support structure.

Letting damaged gutters go unrepaired can cost even more money by weakening siding, doors, foundations, and windows. Mold moisture, erosion, and dry rot can all set in. The longer a gutter goes unrepaired, the higher the cost will be.

Taking Care of Your Gutters
Having a gutter maintenance plan can cover the basics, like fall and spring cleaning. It can also cover additional cleanings, free inspections, and free maintenance like sealing, reattachment, and checking the water path from the foundation.
