Cleaning gutters filled with leaves and sticks.
#1. Clogged Gutters Can Ruin the Foundation of Your Home
It’s true. Once the gutters begin overflowing and the soil that is up against the foundation of your home becomes saturated, water starts pooling there. By the time you notice your basement flooding, the problem has gotten out of control. Over time, the pressure caused by the water will cause the walls of the basement to sink in and crack, and by that point, you’re headed for a disaster of epic proportions.
#2. Clogged Gutters Destroy Your Gutters
More specifically, clogged gutters will rot the wood that holds the gutters in place, meaning if the gutters stay clogged for too long, then they’ll need to be replaced eventually.
#3. Landscape Damage
Most of your landscaping is likely right around your the exterior of your home, which is precisely what your gutters are designed to protect. When water builds up and pools there, it drowns the flowers and bushes and crushes them at the same time.
#4. Ice Dams
Ice dams build up in the colder weather when the water freezes and unfreezes. This tears up the gutters leaving holes and damaging the surrounding area.
