•••••Anytime of year is a great time to clean those gutters. Even during the summer months, debris in gutters can retain moisture against the metal surface causing rust and premature failure. Clogged or dirty gutters during the rainy periods can create more serious issues. Water spilling over gutters can leave unsightly watermarks on stucco walls, erode the ground below, and cause water to accumulate around the foundation of your home which can have devastating consequences on structural integrity. Poor drainage can cause water to pool beneath the home and weaken the very foundation upon which your home sits, leading to broken foundations, huge open cracks in walls, and much worse. And it is all preventable with a little maintenance on those gutters. We ensure downspouts are draining properly, scrub the gutters clean, and even remove leaves and pine needles from your roof if they have accumulated in areas. This may also be a great time to consider removing any branches from nearby trees encroaching on your home or rooftop.
