Why Is Gutter Cleaning So Important In Santa Monica?
The primary job of a gutter system is to direct rainwater away from your building’s roof, siding, and foundation. Unfortunately, dirt and debris collect over time in the open gutter troughs. When this occurs, downspouts clog, and stormwater drainage comes to a complete stop.
The environmental conditions of tall trees and strong winds, common in Santa Monica have been known to expedite this problem. During the next rainstorm, your gutter system can flood and eventually collapse.
Clogged Gutter Issues:
It doesn’t rain much in Santa Monica but when it does folks scramble to deal with clogged rain gutters. After a gutter cleaning service, RayAccess completes a thorough inspection and can perform repairs. In case you didn’t know, here are the 4 most common gutter issues.
Damaged Seams:
Gutter sections are connected by seams that can deteriorate over time. Eventually damaged gutters will sag leading to leaks and rainwater overflow.
Misalignment:
Too much debris inside rain gutters will weigh down the sections. Sagging occurs, screws get loose, followed by misalignment.
Missing End Caps:
If a gutter system is not draining properly parts begin to fall apart. It is very common for end caps to fall off diverting rainwater away from the downspout.
Clogged Downspouts:
Clogged downspouts prevent water from draining properly. Water will pool on the roof, siding, and the property’s foundation.
Can I Clean My Gutters Myself?
