How many times have you forgotten to clean out the rain gutters only to find your rooftop ceiling damped and cold? Eavestrough cleaning is an often neglected task, but that does not reduce its importance.

Property insurance companies suggest that house owners invest in gutter cleaning at least once a year. If you live close to trees, you should have your eavestroughs cleaned in the spring after the buds fall and again in the fall when the leaves fall. In case you wonder why regular cleaning of the eaves trough is important, here are two major reasons:
Prevents Basement Flooding
During fall, leaves and debris clogs the rain gutters run along your house. If the debris is not removed, rain water accumulates and overflows down the side of the house, running into the basement. Water logging around your basement might weaken the foundations of your house and is the #1 cause of basement floods and leaks.
Protects Ceilings From Flooding
With proper gutter cleaning, you can avoid water damage to your ceiling. During winter, if water can not drain down the downspouts, ice can build under the shingles and up your roof. When the ice melts, it leaks down through your roof and info your ceiling. This may cause the ceiling to flood.
Many insurance companies don’t cover the cost of a basement flood or water damage to ceilings if you have didn’t have your eavestroughs cleaned. They view such lack of maintenance as “neglect” on the home owners part. Insurance adjusters know exactly what to look for and you can be guaranteed that clogged eavestrough will be the first thing they hope to see in order to deny your claim. Don’t let this happen to you. Get your eavestroughs cleaned regularly, by a professional company who can document that it was done, absolving you of all risk and damages.
We recommend cleaning gutters in spring and in the fall season so that your eavestroughs can be free of debris, bird nests, balls, shingle dust, leaves, dirt, grime, sleet and other items that can block water from flowing.
