Overflowing
When water begins to spill over the sides of your gutters during a storm, it’s a sign that they are full of debris that isn’t allowing water to properly flow through them. Over time, overflowing gutters can lead to serious issues such as foundation damage or landscape erosion if not addressed promptly.
Sagging Gutters
Gutters may start to sag or pull away from the home due to the weight of debris within them. Ignoring this problem can result in gutters detaching completely, leading to costly repairs or potential replacements.
Visible Debris In The Gutters
If you perform a visual inspection of your gutters and see debris such as twigs or leaves sticking out, they should be professionally cleaned. The more debris that accumulates within the gutters, the more likely the debris is to block proper water flow and create additional problems.
Plant Growth
Plants grow in gutters because accumulated leaves and debris create a fertile, moist environment for seeds to sprout, often aided by wind or birds depositing them there. While sometimes a sign of normal maintenance, plants growing in gutters can be detrimental, leading to clogs, overflows, and water damage, so regular cleaning is essential to remove the seedbed.
Insect Infestations
Insects thrive in damp environments, making clogged gutters an attractive breeding ground for pests such as mosquitoes, ants, and more. When you notice an increase in insect activity around your home, it's a strong indication that your gutters may need cleaning to eliminate the stagnant water and debris attracting them.
Mold And Mildew
The presence of mold or mildew on your walls or near your foundation can be a sign that water is not draining properly from your gutters, leading to moisture buildup. This not only affects your home’s appearance but can also pose health risks for you and your family.
Rust
Gutters may begin to rust due to excess moisture accumulating on the gutters. This is a common sign that can indicate that water is not flowing properly and could ultimately affect your home's aesthetic and structural integrity.
Routine gutter cleaning is critical for maintaining a high-performance drainage system and extending the lifespan of the gutter system. Professionals recommend scheduling cleanings once before spring and one to two times during the fall, based on the amount of debris the property gather.
