Maintaining Your Gutters

 

Gutters and downspouts work hard to protect your house from moisture damage. If gutters leak or downspouts are clogged, water can spill out and accumulate near foundations, soaking the soil and causing foundation walls to settle. 

 

In worst-case scenarios, moisture-laden soil presses in on basement walls, causing bulging and cracking. Water can even be forced inside by means of hydrostatic pressure.

 

Keeping gutters and downspouts in good condition requires regular maintenance. Doing this chore twice each year -- in spring and in the fall.  it can be messy," But it's definitely worth it."
