Why clean my Gutters

Rain gutters help to channel rain water away from your house properly and also deposits that water a reasonable distance from the buildings foundation.

Having clogged gutters can ruin your house inside out by allowing water to flow into your walls instead of down the spout. This water damage can cost thousands to repair. In addition to water damage the gutters themselves can be ruined. Stain damage can be impossible to clean off completely and gutters can become deformed over time by the weight of extra debris.
