Page 1: Clogged gutters

When water accumulates around your home, the foundation

is put at risk. Erosion weakens your home by slowly removing

layer by layer of foundation until it cracks and begins to leak.

Don’t risk the integrity of your foundation by allowing water to

back up and erode your foundation.

When the rain falls and water

backs up throughout the gutter

system, you will end up with

are meant to be dry and clean,

like your basement.

Your soffits and fascia are the closest part of your home to your

gutters. When gutters become clogged, water will begin to

collect in your gutters. With nowhere to go, the water will begin

to eat away at your fascia and soffit, which could cause your

gutters to pull away from your home and eventually fall.

How much damage can clogged gutters cause?

Roof replacement and overall repair can easily cost thousands

of dollars. Clogged or backed-up gutters filled with debris can

allow rainwater to accumulate and cause your roof to rust and

leak over time leading to a complete collapse in.

Water runoff will create pools of stagnant water that

can attract mosquitoes and other wildlife.

Clogged gutters also put you and your family at

risk for health concerns, as clogged gutters can

lead to the development of mold. These harmful

micro-organisms may cause serious damage or

evoke allergies in you and your family. If you can

ensure that the gutters on your home are clog

free, you’re also making a point to keep your

family safe.

If you have trees near your home, then you have complex root

systems growing all around your most important investment.

Roots go after water, so if your gutters are clogged and water is

accumulating around your home and around your driveway, that

complex root system can begin to grow in

areas it shouldn’t, causing severe and costly

damage to your foundation and driveway.

The purpose of a gutter system is to

control the flow of rain water AWAY from

your home. The possibility of erosion

damage becomes real when clogged

gutters mishandle the flow of rain water.

Water will begin to accumulate in your

flower beds surrounding your home,

ruining your landscaping and keeping

water where it shouldn’t be – sitting

stagnant around your foundation.
