As fall beings to approach, leaves begin to pile into gutters. It is important to keep your gutters free of debris so water can run into them without resistance. Some steps to prevent clogged gutters include: Trimming trees near the home, installing gutter guards, and removing materials that have fallen into the gutters with a scoop or by hand. If you are unable to clean them yourself there is a plethora of companies who do this work.

Clogged gutters can result in degraded foundations, cracked roofs, flooding in many areas of the home, and broken gutters. The results of a clogged gutter will require much more effort to repair then simply fixing it before it occurs.
