They may not be the first thing you notice about your home, but your gutters are very important when it comes to keeping your home protected from water damage. Regular gutter maintenance, including biannual gutter cleaning, is vital for keeping your gutters in good condition.
As a homeowner, you should make taking care of your gutters a priority for these three reasons:
- It saves you money. Damages caused by unclean or broken gutters, such as roof leaks, can cost a lot of money to repair. Luckily, many of these damages can be avoided by simply taking care of your gutters and having them regularly looked at and maintained by a professional contractor.
- It prevents flooding. No one wants to deal with a flooded basement. Basement flooding can be a big problem if you don’t have a well-maintained gutter system to redirect rainwater during a storm. If your gutters aren’t working properly, water can pool by your home’s foundation, which can then be absorbed into your basement. Dealing with a flooded basement can be a huge headache, so it’s best to just keep your gutters in good condition.
- It keeps your gutters around for longer. Maintenance and timely repairs are key to prolonging the life of your gutter system. Rather than waiting until your gutters are beyond repair and need to be completely replaced, you can make sure your gutters are cleaned out and maintained regularly to keep them around for longer.
