Clogged or leaky gutters are one of the biggest causes of basement leaks, mold and other foundation problems.
Standing water in gutters is one of the common places mosquitoes breed.
Leaky gutters can cause damage to a house's structural integrity by allowing water to damage the fascia, soffit, or wood framing.
Gutter problems can lead to damaged landscaping including erosion and loss of plant life.
Excess water flowing into the ground near the house can erode the dirt directly beneath driveways, patios and walkways. As the dirt is washed away, the driveway, patio, or walkway is no longer fully supported and can settle, crack, or even collapse.
Cleaning your gutters
If you're having drainage problems but your gutters are still in good shape (no leaks, rust or other signs of damage), you might just need a good cleaning.
