Gutter Cleaning Hernando MS

1. Damage to Gutter System

• • Gutters are meant to drain water, not hold it. But if your gutters are clogged, the weight of the water will soon cause the lightweight aluminum gutters to eventually bend under the weight. In most cases this will require the gutters to be replaced.

2. Wood Rot

• • When gutters don’t drain properly, they quickly become very heavy from the weight of the water which then causes the gutters to pull away from the house. This can then allow water to spill behind the gutters and rot out the fascia board causing costly repairs.

3. Pest Attraction

• • Gutters that aren’t allowed to drain properly quickly become a prime source for mosquitos and other unwanted pests to make themselves at home. This is not only an annoyance, but also a health risk to your family.

4. Cracked Foundations

• • Have you ever seen what happens when clogged gutters face a heavy rainfall? Water will begin to spill over the edges of the gutters and down towards the ground directly below, which is right where the home’s foundation is. Over time, this can cause serious erosion to the soil and eventually compromise the strength of the home’s foundation.

5. Safety Risks
