A selection of large trees on the property can really make your home look beautiful, but large trees can be hazardous to your gutters. Storms and wind can blow leaves and branches from those trees into your gutters, where they do an effective job of clogging the system. When the gutters get clogged, rainfall has nowhere to go but down the side of your house and into your foundation.
And that’s bad news, because in the long term all that water will cause problems with mold, rotting, cracking and other issues that will be expensive to correct. Sometimes the water in the gutters even backs up onto the roof, which means you could get roof damage or a leak into your house.
The only solution is to climb up on a ladder several times a year and clean those gutters thoroughly, to remove the leaves, branches, stray tennis or golf balls, and other debris that has collected there. It’s a time consuming job, and it can also be dangerous — getting up on a ladder always has an element of risk.
