\"Reasons-to-Keep-Your-Gutters-Free-of-Debris\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The month of April is known for its proverbial showers. Make sure your home\u2019s gutter system is clear and ready for that rainy assignment. Clogged gutters create all sorts of unpleasant situations for homeowners, costing time and money. Continue reading to learn some of the reasons why it\u2019s important to keep your gutters free of debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Damage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Obstructions such as leaves, dirt, pine needles, and other debris can accumulate in your gutters and prevent them from guiding water safely away from your home. Instead, the water overflows and moisture increases. This can eventually lead to rotting fascia boards and soffits, causing damage to your home\u2019s exterior and potentially triggering damage to your home\u2019s interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foundation Issues and Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Water that cannot properly drain can build up along your home\u2019s foundation. If enough water collects, it likely will find its way into your basement. The excess moisture can damage structural integrity and lead to mold issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large pools of water can also soften the soil around and under your home, resulting in possible cracks in the foundation and expensive structural fixes down the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insects and Pests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leaf-filled gutters are ideal places for mice and squirrels to take up residence. Once these critters move in, they can cause trouble in and around your home. Likewise, accumulations of moist leaves can attract insects, which can lead to an infestation inside as well as outside. Keep clutter from your gutter to help limit mosquitoes and deter wood-eating insects such as ants and termites from moving in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Alternative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your surroundings, gutters should be cleaned one to four times a year. One simple way to avoid gutter cleaning hassle is to consider a LEAFAWAY\u00ae gutter protection system<\/a>. This one-piece rain-carrying system is structurally designed to let rainwater flow through while keeping leaves and debris out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When working properly, your home\u2019s gutter system is a crucial element to its protection. Be sure to keep your gutters free of debris to avoid the pitfalls of water damage, foundation issues, and pest infestation. To evade gutter maintenance altogether, ask your Minnesota clog-free gutter experts<\/a> about LEAFAWAY\u00ae.
