Why is Gutter Cleaning So Important?

Gutters are one of the most affordable methods for protecting homes and buildings from the elements, but only if they work.

Clean gutters direct water from the roof and away from the house, protecting the roof, siding, wood under eaves, interior walls, flooring, and landscaping from damage and costly repairs.

Having gutters cleaned is a lot less expensive in the long run than having to deal with the damage that clogged gutters can cause.

Most importantly, homeowners should not wait until after a problem arises to have their gutters cleaned. It’s better to get on a maintenance program with a reputable, professional cleaning contractor and determine how many cleanings that particular homeowner really needs. Regularly scheduled maintenance gutter cleanings can save significant money in the long run.
