Gutters might not be glamorous, but they’re the unsung heroes of your home. When they're working, no one notices. When they’re not? You’ve got a soggy, swampy, potentially expensive situation on your hands.
Let’s break down what really happens when you skip gutter cleaning — and how to avoid the chaos with a little help from Anchor Window Cleaning.
The Domino Effect of Dirty Gutters
When leaves, gunk, and debris clog your gutters, it’s more than just an eyesore.
Water can’t flow properly, so it overflows near your foundation.
That water starts creeping into your basement or crawlspace.
Meanwhile, your roof edge starts rotting, and mold becomes the uninvited guest of honor.
And let’s not forget: Standing water = mosquito playground 🦟
Winter Is Coming (and It’s Worse)
In colder months, clogged gutters can cause ice dams. That’s when water freezes, backs up under shingles, and leaks into your home.
Imagine a roof leak and a basement flood. All from skipping a fall gutter cleaning.
Why DIY Isn’t Always Worth It
We get it. You could grab a ladder and do it yourself. But:
Ladders are risky (especially if you're not a pro acrobat).
Most people miss the small clogs hiding in downspouts.
You might just push the gunk farther in.
That’s where we come in — fully equipped, insured, and fast.
Pro Tips to Keep Gutters Flowing
Clean your gutters at least twice a year — spring & fall.
Have a pro check your downspouts and elbows (where clogs love to hide).
