Gutter Cleaning Services: DIY or Hire a Pro? Know the Risks.Posted on Tuesday, June 30th 2020
No one enjoys spending a perfectly good afternoon cleaning gunk out of the gutters. However, it is an important piece of home maintenance. Not cleaning your gutters can do a lot of damage to your home, and yet cleaning the gutters yourself can put you in danger. Gutters need to be cleaned at least twice a year. Gutters collect rainwater from the roof and direct it away from the foundation of your home. A clogged gutter could cause a backup of water which could potentially build up around the foundation. Depending on the amount of water, it could then leak into your basement or crawl space. Left unchecked, this could lead to costly foundation issues and even mold.
