Gutters may not be the most exciting home maintenance task, but it is one of the most important. Gutter systems direct rainwater away from foundation walls, roofs and siding, minimizing soil erosion, basement flooding, and structural damage. Clogged gutters, on the other hand, cause water to overflow and seep into the home, resulting in wood rot, mold growth, and costly repairs. Regular cleaning and maintenance prevents these problems.

Gutter Cleaning Keeps Water Damage Away

Ensz & Sons Gutters, causing water to infiltrate the roofing system, siding, and foundation. This moisture can rot fascia boards, loosen shingles and underlayment, and even leak into the interior of the home. The most common culprits for clogged gutters are fallen leaves, twigs and other organic debris, as well as pest nests like birds, squirrels, and rodents. Regular gutter cleaning removes these blockages, preventing overflow and leakage and keeping your home safe from unwanted critters.

How Gutter Cleaning Protects Your Home

During a professional gutter cleaning, your technician uses high-powered blowers to clean off large debris, followed by manual removal of small debris using hand tools like buckets and shovels. He or she then inspects the downspouts for blockages, testing each one to ensure it’s clear of clogs and is directing water away from the house. In addition to this, your technician will check for signs of rust or other damage, clearing any obstructed areas. Finally, a garden hose is used to flush downspouts and ensure proper water flow.
