Spring Gutter Cleaning & Why it's important!

In Kansas City, April Showers brings May Flowers and during the rain showers it is a great time to a take a peak at your gutter and downspouts to make sure everything is flowing properly. 

Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause damages to your home such as;
1. Fascia boards: Moisture trapped inside clogged gutters can cause the fascia boards behind your gutters to rot. 
2. Roof: When gutters are filled with debris water can back up into the edge of your roof damaging the roof sheeting and wear down roofing material leading to leaks and water damage.
3. Foundation: Gutters are there to remove water off of a roof and away from the foundation.  Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause pooling around foundation and can cause cracking and leaking.
4. Pest: Clogged gutters can become a breading ground for mosquitos, birds, and other insects.

Having your gutters cleaned at least twice a year in the Spring and in the Fall can be a simple solution to avoiding further home damage.  Many companies provide semi-annual gutter clean outs, wash outs, and gutter guard services.
