Review our list of 5 ladder safety mistakes. Please be safe while maintaining and repairing the gutter system that is protecting your home from property and water damage.

Hazards of Clogged Gutters

Hiring a gutter cleaner (or DIY gutter cleaning) seems like a low priority when you consider all the maintenance your house requires.

But did you know that a lack of gutters, and clogged or overflowing gutters, cause some of the most expensive damage to property?

It's an easy and affordable task to hire out to trusted, reputable gutter cleaners near your home.

7 Benefits of Gutter Cleaning

There are plenty of reasons why gutter cleaning should be a priority item on your To Do list. It helps you avoid:

  1. Debris Clogs
    Over time, debris such as leaves, needles, twigs, seeds, pinecones, pollen, flowers, dirt, and even branches will build up in your gutter. This debris causes gutter water to flow slower and eventually clog altogether.
  2. Weight Damage
    As debris accumulates, it adds weight to the gutter system. The added weight alters the gutter slope, bend gutters and hangers, and even causes the gutters to rip free from the house.
  3. Wood Rot and Leaks
    Standing water in the gutters will rot shingles and flashing, and cause leaks in the roof. Before long, water in your gutters will overflow, causing tiger striping and damage to the siding.
  4. Foundation Damage
    Uncontrolled water can pool around the foundation of the house and flood the basement or crawl space. Additionally, it will erode soil, and damage plants and landscaping while splashing dirt onto the house exterior.
  5. Interior Damage
    Overflowing gutter water running down the side of your house also erodes windowsills, door jambs, and the crown molding around them. It can seep inside interior walls, bringing mold, mildew, streaking, and water damage inside your home.
  6. Pest Problems
    Gutter debris acts as a homing beacon for all sorts of critters. Ants, spiders, rodents, and other pests forage among the gutter debris, and quickly find their way inside your home.
  7. Durability
    The average aluminum or galvanized gutter system has a lifespan of around twenty years. Regular cleaning extends the life of your gutters.

Gutter Tex came by my house and did a phenomenal job cleaning out our gutters. Lucky for us it was right before the big storm we had later that week. We hadn't cleaned them since we moved in a few years back so we were happy to have them out there. They were timely, professional, and very thorough with the work. Also, working with Dan-O, in particular, is truly great. I don't think I've ever seen someone work as hard as he does and provide as great customer service! We will definitely be working with them in the future!

How Often Do Gutters Need Cleaning?

Clean your gutters twice a year in our Austin, Texas climate, as each season presents challenges. The scorching summer heat dries out leaves and other gutter debris, making it a fire hazard.

The entire gutter system should be clog-free throughout our rainiest months. Organic matter built up in gutters gets wet and tends to clump together to form a sort of dam, which restricts water flow.

You should also clean your gutters after a severe weather event. Strong winds pick up heavy matter such as branches and items from people's yards, and deposit them into your gutters.
