Nobody enjoys cleaning their gutters. But it is more important than many home owners think. Clogged gutters and/or downspouts can cause rain to flow over and into windows, doors and siding allowing water to enter the residence.
In addition, clogged gutters and downspouts can lead to fascia rot as well and door and window frame damage. Another common problem with clogged gutters and downspouts is the water can erode soil around the house and damage the foundation. The cases the homeowners are most upset is when the water runs into the basement and causes a flooded basement.
If you are going to take on the job of cleaning your gutters, yourself, think safety first!!
