Gutter Repair and Cleaning. Affordable Handyman Services Inc.

 The main purpose of a rain gutter is to protect a building's foundation by channeling water away from its base. The can gutter also helps to reduce erosion, protects painted or stained surfaces by reducing exposure to water,

Gutters are also very effective at keeping building egress areas clear of falling water. Going into a house entrance below water running straight off the roof in a heavy downpour is literally like taking a shower. This major reduction in moisture also helps to keep entrance surfaces dry and free of moss, slime, and algae, which may become a potential slip hazard. Clogged gutters can cause water leakage into the building as the water backs up. Clogged gutters can also lead to stagnant water build-up, which allows mosquitoes to breed and also allows grasses and weeds to grow in the gutter.

Gutters must be maintained regularly to remove leaves and other debris to keep them from clogging. Gutters that are filled with debris can overflow and soak the foundation or damage the roof structure. Call us for a free inspection/estimate on all your rain gutter maintenance needs.
