Gutters are responsible for capturing and redirecting rainwater away from your property. However, they often catch more than just water. Leaves, twigs, dirt, and debris often are caught in gutters as well. You may think that they are just carried away by the water, but they often are not. This is because of several reasons: traditional gutters have seams that debris can get stuck in, large or oddly shaped debris can get stuck at a weird angle, and debris gets trapped by already trapped debris. When gutters get clogged, it may not look like a big deal with a little water spilling over the sides when it rains, but it is.

When water overflows because of a clogged gutter, it will fall toward your property’s foundation. This will slowly erode your foundation over time which could lead to structural concerns and costly repairs. Clogged gutters can also trap water on the roof which can lead to mold, rot, and ice dams. These can cause significant roof damage and cost you money in repairs.
