GUTTER CLEANING

Gutter Cleaning is one of the most important things you can do to maintain the beauty and value of your home. When the gutters are full of leaves and debris they become heavy causing them to pull away from the house. This can lead to fascia and soffit rot. As water overflows, it leaks behind the gutter and can make its way into your home.  Gutters play a key role in the protection of your home. They are the main part of the rainwater drainage system that helps prevent:

• Foundation damage and flooded basements
• Rotten wood
• Landscape destruction
• Termite, mosquito and cockroach infestations
• Mold growth
• Roof leaks
• General water damage 

As part of our expert gutter cleaning, we also remove all leaves & debris from roof valleys.  Your sidewalks, patio & porches are also cleaned of all debris resulting from our gutter cleaning.  Call Bill today at 708-692-0403 or click here to request your free estimate.

Gutters are designed to be the “water protectors” of your home.  Ideally, they control the flow of water around your home, protecting it from a myriad of ailments.  Clean, debris free gutters will not only save your home from premature decay, but can save you thousands of dollars in repair bills.

Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and collect around the foundation of your home. During colder months, this excess water freezes and expands causing frost heave, or cracks in your foundation wall.

Water that backs up in the gutter can also cause moisture damage to the wood in the fascia around your home. When the water backs up in your gutters, it also creates undetected roof leaks that can result in interior damage to walls and ceilings.

The same ill effects of improper gutter drainage can affect the property around your home. For example, water that collects on concrete sidewalks and driveways can freeze and, similar to your foundation, will result in cracks and sagging concrete.  Both of these events result in a safety hazard for the homeowner and their family due to slippery ice or unbalanced/rough surfaces.  This same water may also pool on the concrete and surrounding areas causing rapid mold/mildew growth during warmer months, wash away landscaping, or cause soil erosion which killls grass and trees due to overwatering.

Hiring a Gutter Cleaning Service

There are dozens of maintenance tasks that you need to complete as a homeowner.  Dealing with your house is an extremely demanding task so many homeowners do not do the maintenance jobs themselves and select to work with expert solution companies like Nephews Painting and Gutter Cleaning instead.  One such activity is gutter cleaning.  Along with taking the task off your list, there are a couple added benefits to employing a professional gutter cleaning service.

The first advantage of hiring a gutter cleaning professional is that they assume the dangers that are linked with gutter cleaning, particularly handling step ladders. Whether you utilize an extension step ladder, an A frame ladder, or some strangely configured multi-purpose ladder, there are always risks when dealing with any ladder at elevations.  If you are afraid of elevations or prone to mishaps, hiring a gutter cleaning service could be your only choice if you want to avoid potential injuries.  We are experts and are used to dealing with ladders so we have a much lower risk of injury.  Nevertheless, it is important to make sure that you choose a company that is fully insured so you carry zero risk as a homeowner.  We are fully insured!

A second advantage of having a gutter cleaning service clean your rain gutters likewise concerns health protection concerns. It is possible to be exposed to bacteria and mold spores when cleaning out gutters and this can be an issue if anybody in your household sustains allergic reactions. Mold and mildew allergies can be quite severe and hiring another person to clean the gutters will take away the opportunity that you or your household might be exposed to this potentially dangerous material. Professional rain gutter cleaners will have the safety tools and not just a rain gutter scoop like you.  Call Bill today at 708-692-0403 or click here to request your free estimate.
