We’ve all seen it before – a house with overflowing gutters. But is it really a big deal? After all, it’s just leaves and debris, right? Nope. Clogged gutters can actually cause a lot of damage to your home, both inside and out. That’s why routine gutter cleaning is so important.
how often should you get your gutters cleaned?
The answer depends on a few factors. What type of trees you have around your house, the amount of rainfall in your area, and the slope of your roof. However, most experts recommend having your gutters cleaned at least twice a year – in the spring and fall.
2 J’s & Sons recommends that you have your gutters inspected at least once a year. Preferably in the fall after most of the leaves have come down. In Northwest Arkansas area around Bentonville and Bella Vista, AR this is generally around the end of November or early December. Neosho, Missouri and McDonald County are a little further north but most years the end of November is a great time to schedule a gutter inspection and gutter cleaning.
How To Tell If Gutters Need Cleaned
- Water is overflowing from your gutters.
- There are visible signs of debris in your gutters.
- There are leaks in your roof, walls, or foundation.
- You have ice dams on your roof in the winter.
Why Is It Important To Keep Gutters Cleaned
- Prevents water damage: Clogged gutters can cause water to back up and overflow, leading to leaks in your roof, walls, and foundation. This can not only be expensive to repair, but it can also lead to mold and mildew growth.
- Protects your landscaping: Overflowing gutters can cause water to pool around your foundation, which can damage your landscaping and kill plants.
- Prevents ice dams: In cold weather, clogged gutters can lead to the formation of ice dams. These dams can cause water to back up under your shingles, leading to leaks and damage.
- Protects your gutters themselves: Clogged gutters put extra strain on your gutter system, which can lead to cracks, leaks, and even collapse.
How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost
- Price may vary depending on roof pitch, gutter length, severity
