Gutters may not always be top of mind, but ignoring them can lead to major home damage and expensive repairs. As the trusted gutter professionals in Central Illinois, we have seen firsthand the costly consequences of neglected gutters.
The Hidden Dangers of Clogged Gutters
🚨 Foundation Damage – Water overflowing from clogged gutters can pool around your foundation, leading to cracks and structural instability.
🚨 Roof Leaks & Rot – When gutters don’t drain properly, water backs up under shingles, causing rot and leaks inside your home.
🚨 Pest Infestations – Stagnant water in clogged gutters attracts insects, rodents, and even birds, leading to further damage.
🚨 Mold & Mildew Growth – Moisture from backed-up gutters can seep into walls, creating unhealthy mold and mildew.
🚨 Landscape Destruction – Excessive water runoff can erode soil, and damage flower beds, and flood walkways.
