Cleaning gutters is a necessary part of home maintenance and we would like to point out a few problems that you can actually prevent by having your gutters cleaned.

Debris such as leaves and branches can clog your rain gutters. And this applies to gutters and downspouts!

Roof materials can accumulate. Fascia rot caused by excessive water accumulation and this can lead to soffit rot. Insect nfestation can become a problem because the material can become an attractive home to these types of pests.

Mold can also be caused from accumulated debris. Here's some tips for preventing mold in your home: http://www.epa.gov/mold/pdfs/moldguide.pdf

Foundation problems can lead to many other issues. Structural issues can then result to costly repairs.
Ice dams can be created by pooled water that freezes in your roof area. This can cause damage to the roof and shingles. Ice guards that haven't been applied properly can also be a concern. And all of these problems can often be prevented by keeping your gutters cleaned.

When folks try to do this themselves, some have accidents falling or slipping off of ladders. Accidental ladder falls can be serious
