Clogged gutters are more than just a way to reduce curb appeal, they can actually cause significant damage to your property.
When gutters fill with debris, water can pool in the gutter itself, causing the surrounding wood to begin rotting and breaking down. If this process goes too far, water will start to flow over the sides of the gutters, drenching the side of your home (and any passersby).
If you have a garden surrounding your home, it's also likely that the overflowing water will be dumped directly on top of it, effectively drowning your carefully tended to plants.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, gutters jammed with debris do little to direct the flow of water away from the house and its foundation. If water gathers and eventually spills over the sides of your gutters, it won't be directed away from the foundation—it will simply remain there, causing structural damage over time.
Gutters may not seem like a significant part of your home, but they do more than you might think! To get your existing gutters in great shape, or to replace damaged ones, give Conlee Construction Services, LLC a
