(Newswire.net — September 16, 2013) Vancouver, BC — It is the time of year, once again, when professional rain gutter cleaners and home repair specialists feel the need to remind the public of the very real dangers associated with rain gutters and the fall season.
Not only will overflowing gutters drip on your head and damage garden installations that are against the wall, they can dangerously increase water pressure on the foundation of your house. Backed-up rain gutters allow water to get under roofing shingles and migrate to the joists and sheathing of your home, ultimately compromising the structure and leading to potentially serious and costly damage.
Sadly house repair specialists have to routinely deliver bad news to homeowners who didn’t clean and maintain their rain gutters adequately.
The Change Of Season Means Different Chores
The autumn color change of leaves is a beautiful thing, but as these leaves fall from trees a great many invariably find their way into rain gutters. Not having trees up against your house doesn’t mean you are safe, as winds carry leaves and needles a considerable distance, ultimately depositing them in rain gutters far away from the trees.
Though many home owners will attempt to clean gutters themselves, hiring a true professional, such as Vancouver’s Reliable Gutters, will ensure not only that your gutters are properly cleaned but that deficiencies you might not have recognized will be addressed. Also, the professionals at Reliable Gutters are trained and experienced and that means far less risk to you. Many of us think climbing ladders and scrambling along the edges of steep roofs is no big deal, yet each autumn too many people need medical attention as a result of an accident while cleaning their rain gutters.
Don’t let neglected rain gutter cleaning lead to water damage, and don’t hurt yourself trying to do a job you aren’t prepared for. Professional gutter cleaning Vancouver is affordable and guarantees peace of mind.
