The Risks of Clogged Gutters
Common Issues Caused by Clogged Gutters
- Gutter systems are designed to channel water away from your home, preventing a range of potential problems. Here are the top four issues that can arise due to neglected gutters:
- Flooded Basements: The primary cause of basement water damage is clogged gutters. Rainwater, when unable to flow properly, often finds its way into your basement through your soffits and siding, causing extensive damage.
- Cracked Foundations: Accumulated water around your home's foundation can lead to frost heave, resulting in severe foundation cracks.
- Insect Breeding Ground: Stagnant water and debris-filled gutters attract various insects, including mosquitoes, termites, and wasps, which can find their way into your home.
- Rotten Wood: Moisture trapped in clogged gutters can lead to the deterioration of wood fascia, causing long-term structural damage to your home.
