When water is left to pool near the house it can lead to water problems in the foundation or basement.
The most common type of gutters are open gutters. They do not have a gutter screen or guard to prevent leaves and debris from entering them. The debris clogs the gutter leading to water leaks and damage to the gutters. It is therefore important for homeowners to have them cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
Most homeowners may opt to do gutter cleaning as a DIY project. But Gutter Cleaners are experienced in removing different types of debris carefully. They are also able to check out the condition of gutters and advise accordingly on which to replace and which ones to repair.
Scheduling gutter cleaning can be a little taxing for some homeowners. Gutter screens can reduce the amount of debris that gets into the gutters. A plastic gutter mesh costs $1 per linear foot while a steel one costs $2. Downspout screens can also be used to reduce clogging. They cost $8 per piece.
