The Hidden Dangers of Clogged Gutters

Gutters play a vital role in protecting your home from water damage, but when clogged with leaves, twigs, and debris, they can’t function properly. This can lead to roof leaks, foundation erosion, mould growth, and even pest infestations. In winter, ice dams caused by blocked gutters can result in serious structural damage.

To prevent costly repairs, watch for overflowing water, sagging gutters, rust, or basement dampness—all signs your gutters need attention. Regular cleaning, installing gutter guards, and checking downspouts can keep your home safe year-round.
