Why A Clogged Rain Gutter Is Such A Big Problem?

Overflowing Water Damage:

Overflowing water damage can result in excessive repairs and even premature replacement of your roof and exterior facade. In the event of rain, rainwater can easily overflow to walls, fascia board, roof, patios, and basement. As a result, there may be water intrusion and leaks inside your building or house. In addition, overflowing water can cause damage to walls, windows, and fascia board. This damage can result in very expansive repairs to fix unsightly stains, mold growth, rotting, and cracking.

Gutter Damage & Potential Collapse:

During heavy rains, water captured by your rain gutters has no place to go if they are not functioning properly. That water together with accumulated dirt, leaves, and debris can add up to hundreds of pounds of weight. Not hard to imagine, if you know just one gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds. This heavyweight can easily bend your gutters or totally detach them from your roof.

Breeding Hot Spot for Unwanted Parasites:

Clogged gutters can provide the perfect environment for unwanted pests. Insects, birds, and even rodents are attracted to the abundant food and moisture found inside debris-filled gutters. Clogged gutters can easily become a breeding ground for a number of pests including bees, wasps, mice, squirrels, mosquitos, earwigs, carpenter ants, earthworms, and birds.It’s not uncommon to find one of these pests entering the interior of your home through a small opening. If you have any holes or cracks, an unwelcome guest may pay you a visit.

Is A Fire Hazard:

Accumulation of pine needles and leaves forms combustible debris. This fire hazard is especially dangerous in dry areas common in Texas. Help prevent wildfires by keeping your gutters clear of any flammable dust and debris.
