Experts recommend gutter cleaning at least twice per calendar year. Once in the spring and again in the fall. This is because leaves and other debris can fall and get trapped in your gutters and downspouts, causing clogs when rain falls and snow melts leading to water damage to other parts of your home including your foundation. While it may sound easy to get the ladder out and do this project yourself, it's best to leave this job to the professionals to avoid injury or damage to your gutters - especially if you have a high roof.

Your home is your most important and valuable asset; which is why protecting it with proper gutter cleaning maintenance is extremely important. In addition to expanding and generating cracks in your foundation, clogged gutters can be appealing to a number of critters as a nesting site - an ideal atmosphere for birds and mosquitoes. Minimize the likelihood of repairing or replacing your roof by taking preventative measures now.
