Don’t just take our word for it. Keep reading to understand why getting your gutters cleaned before the rainy days come is vital to your home’s well-being.

Why Get Your Gutters Cleaned ASAP?

Don’t feel bad, nobody likes cleaning their gutters. It doesn’t make you lazy, it makes you a normal homeowner. It’s dirty and tedious. For people who don’t like heights, it’s also frightening.

Fortunately, there are people you can hire to do it for you. You could also consider having leaf guards installed to keep most of the gunk out. Regardless, companies like Eavestroughing Toronto provide an all-in-one service to make your life easier.

  1. Cleaning Out Wet Gutters is No Fun

First and foremost, if you choose to clean out your gutters on your own, dealing with wet muck from your gutters is much worse than cleaning out dry muck.

The gunk in your gutters can consist of everything from dead leaves, dirt, shingle granules, sediment, and nearly anything else the wind or animals can leave behind. The last thing you want is an emergency clean-out after it’s all been soaking in water.

  1. Clogged Gutters Can Lead to Negative Drainage

Did you know that overflowing gutters can actually lead to damage to your foundation and water in your basement?

If you don’t get your gutters cleaned by the time heavy rain starts falling, be prepared for water to get everywhere. It won’t be able to drain properly to the downspouts which means it will come spilling over the edge instead.

As it spills over the edge and down the side of your home, it drains directly into the place where the ground meets the foundation. This can spell disaster and damage.

  1. Full Gutters Can Damage Your Roof, Fascia, and Gutters

Next, our homes are designed to be water-resistant, but not waterproof. If you’ve got water or moisture sitting in the gutters, it can cause your roof and fascia to rot or decay. The water will eventually seep into the material causing irreversible damage.

Additionally, if you don’t get your gutters cleaned by winter, the cold temperatures can freeze moisture held in the gutter potentially damaging the gutters.

  1. Excess Moisture Leads to Mold Growth

Regardless of where the moisture settles, it’ll likely cause mold growth. While not a huge threat to the structural integrity of the home, mold can be hazardous to your health.

Mold can flare up peoples’ allergies, cause asthma, and other respiratory diseases.

  1. Clogged Gutters Attract Wildlife and Plant Growth

Finally, not getting your gutters cleaned could attract animals such as mice, birds, and squirrels. It may not seem like a big deal, but as the temperature starts to drop outside, they’re going to be looking for a way inside.

Additionally, clogged gutters have been known to grow their own plant life, as there is plenty of dirt, sediment, and nutrients up there. This can also be harmful to your home, as plants like moss can grow all over your roof holding moisture and causing water damage.

Take Care of Your Gutters Today

Don’t wait any longer. Whether you get your gutters cleaned yourself or hire it out to professionals, it needs to get taken care of. Just remember to be safe and be willing to ask for help!
