Clean Gutters Prevent Many Home Repairs Gutters convey water from the roof, and pass it to a downspout. The less time water spends on the roof, the better. This fact holds true in warm and cold weather. Well-maintained gutters assure homeowners that a roof stays dry. A dry roof lasts longer than a damp roof. A damp roof gives algae and fungus a chance to grow between shingles. Algae and fungus open up access to insects. Tiny trees begin to grow in the cracks kept moist by algae and fungus. The roof is not a garden. Clean gutters keep a roof as dry as the desert. A blocked gutter floods, sending water gushing over the side. A flooded gutter doesn't threaten the roof alone. There's more to the roof than the shingles. The eaves overlap the walls of the house. The fascia connects the roof to the house with vertical boards. The soffit siding protects the underside of the eaves. The eaves, fascia and soffit seal the walls from moisture. Gutters that flood allow mold and rot to attack these important units of the house. Better to keep the gutters working than need to rebuild moldy walls. Eaves, fascia and soffit repairs cost good money. |

Cleaning the gutters in the fall prepares a house for winter snow and ice. Clean gutters in winter assure that melting snow and ice drain off the roof in a snap. Slow water drainage runs the risk of ice dam formation.
Nothing ruins a roof faster than an ice dam. An ice dam can send cold water gushing down the inside of a wall. Gutters clogged with leaves guarantee an ice dam when a blizzard melts on a warmer day. Shoveling the roof might be necessary in the case of overlooked gutter maintenance. Shoveling a snowy, icy roof means hard, dangerous work on cold, short winter days.
