What Are The Risks If You Don’t Clean Your Gutter?
Introduction - You may not have thought much about your gutters, but cleaning your gutters helps keep them in good working order and prevents clogging, draining issues and other potentially serious damages. When its rains heavily, a large volume of water is deposited on your roof that must be drained away in a very short time. If your gutters are blocked, this water is unable to escape and builds up rapidly.
Here are the main reasons why you need to keep your gutters clean -
Overflows: When water overflows, one of the several things are likely to happen- It will run onto and over the eaves of your house, back into your roof and then into your ceiling. It will splash onto the ground under the gutters, causing erosion of garden beds and water pooling along the walls. It will run down the exterior walls of your house and saturate your foundation, which can lead to structural damage over time.
Leaking Gutters & Roof: Your gutters play an important role in protecting your house. They’re one of the most underrated barriers against water damage that your house has. Gutters are designed to reroute water and keep it away from your roof, siding, and foundation. The three areas that are the most devastating damaged by water. Keeping your gutter clean and properly maintained is both beneficial and crucial to protect your house. when
Foundation Crack: Foundation crack occurs when water is absorbed into the house.

Lots of critters like dark, damp, or remote places like a gutter, including birds, rodents, bees, and other insects. matter can also contain mold spores or other bacteria that could pose a health risk when inhaled.

Drowning Landscape: When a gutter is damaged or unable to retain water, the water then leaks out to the landscape, including your exterior plants. Overwater plants can turn dull and die, causing an ugly and drawing landscape. If you want to save your landscape, be sure to have your gutters cleaned annually.
Ice Buildup: If you leave standing water in your gutters for long enough, it will eventually freeze. The added weight of the ice can cause your gutters to become heavy and actually pull away from your home. When this happens, cracks are created and snow, water, and ice can all seep into your home. Take time to schedule a gutter cleaning so you don’t have to book an entire gutter replacement appointment.
