Without a doubt, you want your Carrollton home to be in its best condition and as safe as possible.

The state of your gutters has a butterfly effect on the state of your home as a whole.

We want you to have all of the information you need to be a smart and effective homeowner, and we also want to provide you with the services you need as well.

A Clean Gutter Makes For A Safe Roof

The gutters on your home are there to drain any rainwater from your roof back down to the ground where it belongs. This ensures that there isn't excess water pooling on your roof; it follows the roof's slant to the gutters and gets taken care of. However, if your gutters are clogged, broken, or damaged, this could affect the drainage of that water; it could either be slowed or completely stopped.

If this happens, the water has nowhere to go and instead it pools on the surface of your roof. This is bad for multiple reasons:

• Water can get heavy quickly; the weight of the water could cause damage to your roof, sagging, or could even damage your gutters further.
• Excess water on your roof could lead to leaks or water damage, which could quickly progress into issues inside your home.
• Without regular gutter cleaning and maintenance, they are more prone to damage and less protected in the long run.

Protect Your Wallet

Regularly pressure washing your gutters is better for your wallet in the long run as well. Cleaning your gutters extends their lifespan and protects them from damage; without this, you could find yourself with costly repairs or replacements to deal with prematurely.

You also don't want to wait until you start seeing issues with the drainage of your gutters to get them cleaned or looked at; instead, working proactively is always recommended. If you have your gutters cleaned one to two times per year, you can prevent the issues from occurring at all.
