(Newswire.net — August 23, 2014) Vancouver, BC — If you think clogged rain gutters aren’t problematic, give your head a shake! The rain gutters around the perimeter of your building’s roof have a very important purpose: keeping excessive water away from the foundation. When gutters are clogged, rainwater overflow goes straight down, increasing water pressure on the foundation of your house – to levels the foundations are not built to handle.
Backed-up rain gutters also allow water under roofing shingles, leading to the rotting of joists and sheathing and ultimately leading to serious and costly damage.
Autumn is a Beautiful Season…
…but leaves falling from trees invariably end up in rain gutters and preventing those gutters from doing their job. Even if there are no trees close to your house you know the wind is going to blow a lot of leaves into your gutters. It is also common each autumn for moss to come off pitched roofs and roll into gutters. And if you haven’t had your gutters cleaned in over a year, our damp climate will have ensured that a gummy deposit of mold and slime is likely compromising your gutters.
