How long has it been since you checked out your gutters?
It’s that time again, the leaves are changing colors, falling from the trees, the weather is cooling off. It’s gutter cleaning season. In cities like Yucaipa, Redlands, and Beaumont California, the leaves, pine needles, and algae will find a home in the rain gutters.
You might wonder, “Is it that big of a deal to postpone cleaning the gutters?” “Houses were built to endure the rain” “Not all homes have gutters installed”
If your home had gutters installed, there’s a reason for it. Rain gutters do more than keep water from running down the side of your house.
Nasty sludge can build up quickly, blocking the ability to divert rainwater
Gutters keep water from pooling at the base of your house and damaging your foundation. They keep water from rotting your fascia. They also prevent mold, mildew, and mosquito breeding pools from forming around your home.
The weight of a loaded gutter can be taxing on the fasteners holding them to your roof
It is for these reasons that gutter cleaning is imperative. A couple dollars a foot for clearing might seem like a hard pill to swallow but the consequences of procrastination are greater.
Gutters not properly cleaned, cleared and maintained can lead to rotted fascia and trusses.
In my time as a Window Cleaner serving customers in Redlands, Yucaipa, and Beaumont, I’ve observed the devastation unchecked gutters do. I highly recommend gutter cleaning done at least twice a year. Once in the Fall, again in the Spring. If you call anywhere from Palm Desert to Redlands your home, feel free to contact Shinepro Window Cleaning for a free estimate.
