Living in Colorado, you know that we can get snow or rain anytime. With it, all that water needs to go someplace and gutters place a crucial role in maintaining your home or facility.
What Gutters Do
Gutters are a collection point for the water that comes off your roof. Those gutters will carry the water to your downspouts and through extensions at the ground level to be deposited away from the foundation. Whether it’s leaves on the roof, pine needles or other debris in the gutters, or extensions at the bottom which are MIA, many things can negatively impact how this system is supposed to work.
Risks From Not Having A Regular Gutter Cleaning
Water will go somewhere. If it can’t go away from the house like it’s intended to, water can pool near your foundation, or go into your siding and walls. Also, gutters that are clogged will hold that water, leading to damage like rust, which reduces their effectiveness.
How COS Exterior Services Cleans Your Gutters
I use a comprehensive method that includes a visual inspection, removing debris by hand, and augering downspouts/extensions. The final step is water flush, which ensures that the whole system is working properly and helps identify leaks.
You’ll get peace of mind knowing that your gutters are clear and functional.
How often you need your gutters cleaned depends on many factors. I answered this question in a blog article recently. The answer is – once a year if you have light tree cover and two to three times a year if you have heavy tree cover, particularly pine trees.
