Protect Your Home This Fall: The Importance of Clean and Covered Gutters
Have you thought of your gutters recently? Fall is here, leaves are falling and squirrels are building nests to prepare for winter. You may not realize it, but uncovered gutters can cause irreversible damage to your home. Protected gutters and keeping them clean are essential to securing your home this fall.
Clogged Gutters = Damage and Corrosion
Uncovered gutters are easily clogged with debris falling from surrounding trees, piling up over time. The debris prevents water from draining properly, leading to water overflowing from your roof and could lead to damage to your exterior walls. The weight of the debris can also cause gutters to pull away from brackets, leading to opportunities for water damage on the interior of your home.
Water damage causes corrosion that warps and cracks your walls, taking years off the life of your home and leading to expensive repairs in the future. This corrosion also opens the door to wildlife getting through your roof and gaining access to your attic through weakened walls. Regularly checking your gutters for debris build-up and clear separation from your roof is essential to maintaining a protected home.
Squirrels Nest in Gutters
Debris and corrosion are not the only potential issues caused by a lack of gutter protection. Did you know that squirrels nest in gutters? Your gutters offer a protected, elevated surface with leaves and branches, making an ideal location to build a nest.
Squirrels find safety from predators in high vantage points, making gutters an excellent hiding place. They also have access to surrounding trees, offering them nuts, seeds and other food sources that are easily accessible. With fall beginning, squirrels are preparing for winter, making nests out of the debris lying in your gutters.
Squirrels are rodents and are always looking for something to chew on, causing them to eat away at your roof shingles and potentially gain access to your attic. Having secure gutter guards in place prevents debris and keeps squirrels out of your gutters.
