Do I Have to Clean Out My Gutters?

July 20, 2018

If you don’t currently have a gutter guard system protecting the gutters on your home, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that leaves, pine needles, twigs, seed pods and other debris are likely entering your gutter system every day. What some homeowners don’t realize, however, is that over time, this debris can leave gutters clogged, rendering them ineffective at channeling water away from your home. The obvious solution to this problem is to clean the gutters out by hand – but this is an unpleasant and potentially dangerous chore that many people just don’t want to deal with. This leaves us with one very important question – is manual gutter cleaning truly a necessity?

The short answer is this – if you do not have a gutter protection system installed at your home, you must have your gutters cleaned by hand. Clogged gutters can actually cause more severe problems than simply not channeling rain water effectively. Eventually, clogged gutters can become blocked completely, and when this happens, the water that enters the gutters can back up and overflow. This can cause potentially costly damage to your home’s:

• Foundation
• Soffit
• Fascia
• Landscape

Thankfully, there’s one way to have peace of mind knowing your gutters will never become clogged and overflow – gutter guards from GutterDome. Our “Award Winning” products are made from the finest material on the market and are protected by an impressive 30-Year Lifetime Limited Warranty.
