Check-Off Gutter Cleaning From Your Fall Checklist

Fall has arrived which means it’s almost time to clean the gutters. Gutters are an essential part of a roofing system and are designed to keep your home dry even during heavy rain or snow. Without adequate gutters, a home’s roof, siding and foundation are damage. That's why it's important to get your Gutters inspected in Mechanicsville VA.

In late fall, gutters are prone to clogging from leaves and twigs. Gutters clog when loose debris decomposes and, if damp, gets matted to the gutter’s interior. If the debris becomes dense enough, it can prevent water from flowing toward the downspout, and then even the downspout can clog. So when gutters are blocked with leaves, ice, or other debris, the water has nowhere to go except over the edge of the gutter.

Gutter cleaning tends to be a fairly routine service that many roofing professionals offer. As an essential part of home maintenance, gutter cleaning prevents a number of issues, such as roof hazards, basement and foundation issues and home exterior damage.
