Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams are leaders in storm damage mitigation and restoration services. One common cause of damage from heavy rains occurs when water backs up inside clogged rain gutters, and the water seeps into the roof.

Keeping your rain gutters clean is essential for protecting your home from water damage. Gutters are designed to direct rainwater away from your roof and foundation, but when they become clogged with leaves, debris, or dirt, they can no longer perform this critical function effectively. When a gutter is clogged, it will cause the rainwater to overflow, leading to water backing up into the roofline.

When water accumulates in the roofline, it can seep into the attic, causing significant water damage that can spread to other parts of the home if not addressed quickly. The moisture can lead to structural damage, including weakened beams and insulation, and create a breeding ground for mold and mildew. These problems can escalate rapidly, resulting in costly repairs and potential health risks.

Regular gutter cleaning, especially before heavy rainfall seasons, can prevent these issues from arising. By clearing these channels, water will  flow freely through your gutters and downspouts protecting your roof, attic, and overall home structure from water damage, saving you from unexpected expenses and preserving the integrity of your home.
