(Newswire.net — May 28, 2013) Carmel, Indiana — As Spring goes into full swing and Memorial Day is behind us, Summer will soon give way to more outdoor chores for many Americans.
A recent poll asked the question, “What is the chore you most despise?” and, not surprisingly, gutter cleaning took the top spot again. (It’s won the coveted spot 3 years in a row!)
“It’s a known fact that cleaning gutters is last on the list for most homeowners,” quipped Scott Grolinek, founder of Northside Window and Gutter Cleaning of Carmel, Indiana. “The poll did show that people enjoy being outdoors, gardening and even pulling weeds (these items never made the “most despised” list) but cleaning gutters and washing windows are always in the top 25 items that are the most despised.”
Many reasons are cited for homeowners reluctance to clean their gutters. Some of the respondents stated that it’s dangerous. Nearly one third of the respondents also stated that the screens they put in place rarely work and when the gutters and downspouts do clog up, cleaning them is, “Just gross!” according to teenager, John Crowley.
Grolinek’s company, http://windowguttercleaning.com, discovered that his service of cleaning gutters for homeowners had multiple benefits. He pointed out when our gutters are not functioning properly, there are a number of issues that may arise including:
* Foundation issues including leakage, erosion, and flooding.
* Water leakage behind siding and into windows and sills.
* Damage to decking including fading, staining, and premature rotting.
* Flooding of walkways and landscaping.
* Breeding grounds for many types of insects and bugs.
* Freezing hazard in cold temperatures.
