Gutters play a crucial role in protecting your home from water damage, but they often get overlooked until a problem arises. Here are some signs that you need to contact Express Gutters about a cleaning:
1. Overflowing Water
If water spills over the sides during rain, your gutters are likely clogged with leaves, dirt, or debris, preventing proper drainage.
2. Sagging or Pulling Away
Gutters that are weighed down by debris and standing water can begin to sag or detach from your home, signaling an urgent need for cleaning.
3. Plants or Moss Growth
If you spot small plants or moss growing in your gutters, it’s a definite sign that dirt and moisture have built up, creating a mini garden where there shouldn’t be one.
4. Pest Infestation
Gutters clogged with debris can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, rodents, and even birds. If you notice unwanted critters hanging around, it’s time for a cleaning.
5. Staining on Siding or Foundation
Overflowing water can lead to streaks or stains on your siding, and worse, water pooling around your foundation, potentially leading to costly damage.
