Cleaning your gutters is an essential maintenance for your home. The function of the gutter system is to drain rainwater easily, away from the house. Over time, plants or roof debris can clog gutters. Unfortunately, this prevents proper drainage of rainwater. Poor gutter maintenance leads to overflows. This will cause water to flow down the walls or/and water will collect on the ground near the fondation. It can cause water infiltration or even damage the foundation of your home.

Keeping your gutters clean also extends its life. Without maintenance, clogs can cause weight, which can quickly deteriorate your gutters. Also, gutters can leak or break if they are poorly maintained. That’s why it’s important to remember to clean your gutters at least once a year, depending on the house sector.
