The cleaning of your gutters is essential to prevent the clogging and overflowing that may lead to damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. The task of cleaning your gutters can be mundane, exhausting, and time-consuming without the proper tools and training. You may even damage your gutters if you’re not careful. By contacting the gutter cleaning specialists at ClearPoint Window Cleaning, you can ensure that your gutters are clear and working efficiently.

Regular cleaning can extend the life of your gutter system. If your gutters are allowed to fill up with debris and water, they may start to sag and cause damage to your roof or other parts of your property.

Flooding & Damages to Your Foundation

After heavy rain, the water from the roof will not flow away from your home and landscape if your gutters need cleaning. If water is unable to flow through your gutter and down the spout, away from the house, you may be putting your foundation at risk. When water drains near your foundation and then freezes, it expands considerably. If left alone, you may start to get cracks in your basement walls. Moisture in your basement can mean disaster for your home.

Not only can the water damage the floor, walls, and other surfaces, but if your basement is finished, you may not even know it’s happening until it’s too late. If you think your gutters are draining improperly, or not draining at all, please give the gutter cleaning experts at ClearPoint Window Cleaning a call today.

Damage to the Gutters Themselves

If your gutters are not cleaned and maintained, they too can become damaged if the debris inside becomes soaked and freezes, meaning that you’ll need to repair or replace them. Another risk is the potential damage to the gutters if you lean a ladder on them. There’s no need to worry about ClearPoint Window Cleaning damaging your gutter system or your siding with our equipment during our gutter cleaning service.

The Risk of Falling

The biggest risk to your safety is the risk of falling while trying to clear out your gutters. Whether you’re spraying them with a hose or pressure washer, or if you’re scooping the debris out by hand, there’s always the risk of slipping and falling. This can be especially dangerous if your home has multiple stories. Don’t risk it this season, call the professional gutter cleaning team at ClearPoint Window Cleaning.

How Often Should You Have Your Gutters Cleaned?
