Your gutters play the critical role of channeling water away from your property. Clogged, leaky gutters put your foundation, siding and roof at risk. Today, Barry Best Seamless Gutters, a leading gutter contractor in the area, discusses how these gutter problems affect your home.
When your gutters are clogged, water won’t flow where it should, possibly spilling over the sides of your roof and drenching your siding. Not only can this cause your siding to rot, it can also dampen the insulation underneath the siding, making it useless and leading to a spike in your energy bills. Plus, the unsightly watermarks on the siding can drag down your home’s curb appeal.
Gutters are installed on the edge of your roof. When clogged, they can impair your roofing system. The extra weight of accumulated leaves, twigs and other forms of debris can also cause the gutters to sag and damage the roofing material. You can prevent this problem by investing in an advanced gutter cover system like Gutter Helmet®. This innovative gutter protection system has unique features that prevent debris buildup in your gutters. With Gutter Helmet, gutter maintenance won’t be an issue.
When rainwater overflows from your gutters, it will pond near your home’s foundation. This can weaken the wood material, requiring costly repairs. By installing a gutter guard system like Gutter Helmet, you can keep your gutters clear and ensure that water is directed safely away from your home.
Sagging gutters caused by clogging can create serious safety concerns. You need to get in touch with your local contractor to solve this issue. They might suggest a complete replacement of your gutter system for better protection and performance.
