Clean gutters are crucial for keeping water and harmful elements away from your home.
April showers mean May flowers.
This adage is true, even though clean gutters are not mentioned in the equation. However, add in clogged gutters and it changes, because the water can’t flow away from the house. Now, instead of May flowers, April showers brings mold, mildew, rotting wood, cracked foundations, etc….
Most people in the Greater Charlotte, NC area likely never think about their gutters. Many may hear the rain on the roof. Most never think about the amount of water running into the gutter system. They don’t think about it, that is, until the water flows over the gutters and down the walls.
However, they will think about it once fungus starts growing and causing other issues, because that’s what misplaced water does so well.
