What Happens If I Don’t Clean My Gutters?

Written by

Short answer: nothing good.

Gutters Are Meant to Channel Water

When they’re clogged, that water goes somewhere—and usually it’s somewhere you don’t want:

– Under your shingles

– Behind your fascia boards

– Into your crawlspace or basement

– Pooling around your foundation

Long-Term Consequences

– Mold and mildew growth in siding and attics

– Cracks in the foundation due to water expansion

– Pest attraction, like mosquitoes and rodents

It’s one of those “out of sight, out of mind” issues—until it’s too late.
