Clogged Gutters Cause Water Damages

Spring showers are in the forecast for Central Ohio over the next couple of weeks. While rain can cause water damage on its own, clogged gutters can cause additional issues. Gutters play a significant role in preventing water damage to homes. Their purpose is to channel rainwater to the downspouts and away from the home, protecting roofs, walls, and foundations of homes. To keep gutters working properly, it is important to make sure that gutters are cleaned regularly so that water can flow freely to the downspouts and away from the home.

During spring cleaning, one thing that often goes overlooked is your gutters. Clogged gutters can cause many issues for a homeowner. Water that is blocked by the debris in gutters will find the path of least resistance when it tries to drain. This often means it will find its way into the walls and ceilings of the home causing interior damage.

So how often should you clean your gutters? It is recommended that you clean your gutters AT LEAST twice a year!
