As one of the top gutter companies in the region, Guarded Gutters is here to make your life easier.

However, first things first – gutter cleaning. With what may seem like a never-ending list, cleaning out your home’s gutters is often pushed to the bottom or completely forgotten. We’re here to let you know why this task should be on the top of everyone’s list!
Gutter companies know disaster.
While curb-appeal is always nice, saving thousands of dollars in potential damage is usually nicer. By ignoring the debris that has collected in your gutters during the fall and winter, you could be facing serious repair work. Clogged gutters can lead to several disastrous outcomes. Here’s a look:
- Roof repair or replacement
- Siding repair or replacement
- Foundational cracking
- Mold and Mildew growth on your roof, siding, attic, or inside of your walls
- Uneven or cracking windows and/or doors
A functional gutter system.
A properly functioning gutter system serves many purposes. However, the greatest purpose is protecting your home from water damage and the consequences of trapped moisture. By directing water away from your home and the foundation, one can successfully avoid the above mentioned outcomes.
Time for gutter cleaning.
One of the most common problems with gutters is the accumulation of leaves and pine needles. Clogging the passageway, this debris will cause water to backup. One of the easiest ways to see if your gutters are clogged is to watch them after a rainstorm or on a warm day when the snow is melting from your roof.
If there is no noticeable drainage, you see your gutters pulling away from the house, or they appear to be sagging, it’s time to call in the experts. While we recommend gutter cleaning at least once per season, some homes require more frequent maintenance. For instance, if your home is located in a heavily wooded area or one that experiences frequent winds, you may be surprised at how quickly debris builds in your gutters.
