Ah, Spring. It’s the season of rejuvenation and rebirth, of new growth and new life. For many, it’s also the best time of year for new gutters. After the ravages of harsh winter weather and before the busyness of summer activities, spring is a time for homeowners to refresh their home’s exterior and protect their home’s interior with renovation projects like installing new clog-free gutters. Upgrading to new gutters is especially important for anyone with clogged or cracked gutters, as their flawed performance in Kentucky’s notoriously wet spring season can do serious harm to the structural elements of a home.
Why Should You Add Clog-Free Gutters?
Cracked or clogged gutters do more than just leak a little water. In fact, they can cause substantial and costly damage to your home if the issues are not delt with immediately. Water continuously dripping down or backup overflowing from a clogged gutter can cause damage to:
- Foundations
- Roofs
- Fascia
- Window and door frames
- Wooden trim
- Exterior paint and siding
- Underground plumbing
- Landscaping
- Decking and cement patio slabs
- Sidewalks and walkways
- Interior walls and ceilings
- Basements
Plus, if water is not properly drained and left to pool, it’s an open invitation for insect infestations, as bugs like mosquitoes will use the standing water as a breeding area. So, it’s not just cosmetically nice to have new gutters (though they do add a fresh, polished look to home exteriors). Properly functioning gutters can also literally save you thousands in home repairs and protect your house and lawn from the damaging effects of uncontrolled water. So, when considering home improvements this spring, weigh the many benefits of new gutters against the costly consequences of living with old, cracked, or clogged gutters.
