Why do I need to have my gutters cleaned out?

As mentioned above, gutters serve a very important function in keeping water away from the foundation of your house. If water pools around the foundation, it can cause a number of issues such as rotten wood, cracked foundations, or crawlspace water infiltration, among others. The easiest method to prevent these potentially catastrophic issues is to ensure your gutter and drainage systems are working as designed.

I have Gutter Guard or another gutter device. Why would this need to have a cleaning done?

Unfortunately, most gutter accessory devices have proven to be more of a headache than a solution. While the screen in gutter guard may trap debris before is clogs up the gutter, the debris will still be stuck on the screen. A dead leaf creates a spot for bacteria or algae to grow and spread, causing additional blockages around the screen and even inside the gutter itself. Because of this common issue, even gutters that have an accessory device should be checked for blockages yearly to prevent bigger issues.

My gutters are clear but look terrible. What’s going on?
