Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters are the number 1 cause of property damage.
No matter what type of gutter system you have, it must be kept clean to do its job properly.
Even if you have screens over your gutters, small particles from your roof will get past those screens and eventually clog your drainage system. A clogged drainage system will not only cause damage to your roof line, but possibly to your foundation as well, and can often cause dampness in basements.
A damp foundation is nothing more than a breeding place for mold and mildew. Also, standing water in your drainage system is the proper environment for mosquito's to breed and if you have standing water, there is a nearly 100 percent chance that the side of your home is damp - termites love damp wood!
Moisture in the Basement
Please note: Proper maintenance of your gutters is a dangerous job. It should only be done by professionals - it gets very slippery up there. You must be properly equipped.
