The Importance of Gutter Cleaning

If you have lived in Cleveland for multiple years, you may have heard the nickname "Forest City' which is an accurate description. Whether or not you're a fan of the weather changes, we can agree that leaves can be obnoxious to deal with on your property.

As fall rolls around, the pesky little leaves start building up in your downspout, causing a build-up. Water will begin to drain out elsewhere since it can't exit through your gutter. This can cause indoor and outdoor water damage. The small trickle of water accumulates into a much bigger problem if it's seeping through your siding into your home. Some people have paid upwards of $5,000 to fix the damage water has done when their gutters weren't properly working.

They may seem like an insignificant part of your home, but they're what keeps water away from your home and its foundation. If water sits and collects by the foundation, it will begin to crack and split your foundation over time. This is an expensive fix that could be avoided.

We strongly advise our clients to do a regular cleaning of their gutters. If you are comfortable with utilizing ladders and have the patience, we recommend dedicating a Saturday to the task while wearing gloves to clear the debris from the gutters. However, if you are hesitant about using ladders or find yourself pressed for time, we hope you reach out to us. We are more than willing to help you out!
