One of the predictions of global warming and climate change remains extreme rain events, particularly along the coasts. The EPA…issues pamphlets labeled “What Climate Change Means for _____” telling homeowners measures they can take to adapt to the new climate. It quotes that a 25% increase in extremely heavy storms has occurred since 1958. All that raining affects property and home. One of the things a homeowner can do to protect a house becomes putting up gutters and to use experts like found at Gutter Cleaning Edgewood MD to keep it maintained.

Why Put Up Gutters?

Depending on the climate, how the house sits on the land and how the roof meets the walls of the house you may need gutters. Gutters act as a buffer between rain falling on the roof and the ground. Because most roofs have a slope, rainwater rushes down the roof to the edges spilling over in sheets and hitting the ground. The force of the water can dig a trench around the home, splash back and flood a basement, or pool on the sidewalk or driveway. Water can slide down the edge of the house causing damage to siding.

Gutter Cleaning

The folks at Gutter Cleaning understand what water does to a home. They recognize if the surrounding landscape slopes upward, or if water pools around a foundation. Looking at the overhang of a roof they can tell how the water flows once hitting the ground, and where it might cause problems with paths and foundations. Gutter Cleaning Edgewood MD can say if the gutters have a full function or need cleaning. Being in business in Maryland the firm knows what type of gutters locals use and which types of gutters can sustain in the climate given.

Cleaning Gutters

Gutter Cleaning Edgewood MD has several recommendations to keep gutters diverting water away from the foundation. If not adequately maintained gutters can become a problem. As it rains, anything blowing in the winds can land on the roof and end up in the gutter. Leaves, debris, and even dirt can clog up the gutters causing water to spill up under shingles. Instead of the channel to the ground. The firm recommends:

• Cleaning gutters twice a year
• Debris be removed from the roof and the gutter trough
