It’s difficult to determine if your gutters are clean without climbing up on a ladder and looking. Thus, it’s easy to put off doing maintenance and cleaning unless it has already caused noticeable problems. Homeowners must understand that without routine upkeep, the gutters will be blocked due to fallen twigs, leaves, birds nesting, and possibly, moss and algae formation which occurs do to continuous exposure to water and moisture.If your gutters become blocked, it becomes quite difficult for water to move along the correct path and thus spills over your home resulting in damage to the siding, structure, etc. This can eventually lead to major problems in the house.
