This can dramatically shorten the lifespan of your roof and be the root of expensive repairs or even entire roof / foundation replacement.
Foundation Health: Once gutters are clogged, overflowing water can flood the soil surrounding your home's foundation, resulting in cracks, shifting, and possible basement flooding. Foundation repairs can be extremely expensive.
Siding and Wall Health: Overflowing gutters cause water to flow down the siding of your home, damaging it by peeling paint, and increasing risk of mold and mildew growth on exterior walls.
