Replacing your entire eavestrough system can be a very expensive home investment. If you clean out the eavestroughs regularly or have a professional clean them, you can extend the life of your current guttering so that you don’t have to spend a lot of money replacing the whole system. If you have sectional eavestroughs you should have a professional technician check the joints and welds that are holding the sections together at least once a year to make sure they are still strong. If those joints loosen up then leaves, debris and water can clog in the sections of your eavestroughs and cause leaks, cracks, or cause that section to fail entirely. It’s always a good idea to have a professional come and clean out your eavestroughs and check them for damage after the winter storm and rain season.
There are a lot of sections of your eavestrough system where small cracks and leaks could be hiding. Unless you regularly get up on a very tall ladder to check your eavestroughs you could have small leaks that are letting moisture into the walls of your home, destroying your siding, or leaking into your basement. Getting the eavestroughs cleaned regularly will get rid of the standing water, leaves and other materials that can build up in the eavestroughs and eventually cause leaks. And when you hire a professional technician to clean out those eavestroughs the tech will also be examining your entire guttering system for small cracks or leaks so that you can have those repaired before they become big problems that cause major damage in your home.
If the eavestroughs that push the water away from the basement and foundation of your home are damaged, clogged, or are backing up and you don’t notice it you could end up with a pretty big foundation problem. That water gets down into the foundation of the home and can freeze and then expand, causing lots of hairline cracks. Over time leaking water from clogged eavestroughs can cause major damage to your home’s foundation which can be very expensive and time consuming to fix. But if it isn’t fixed it could damage the structural integrity of the home. Getting your eavestroughs regularly cleaned by a professional cleaner is the best way to prevent future foundation problems due to water backups and clogs in your gutters.
