How Little Problems Lead to Big Problems
It starts with only a few leaves and twigs, an ends with thousands of dollars of damage to the underside of your home. Once there’s enough debris in your gutters to form a clog, water will no longer drain the way it’s supposed to, down through your gutter system. Instead it’s going to spill over the edge, down the side of your house, and underneath into your basement or crawlspace. Down there is can pool and soak into wood framing. This provides an excellent environment for all kinds of nasty things, including both mold and insects.
Water soaked wood is a huge risk for mold growth, and once the growth starts, its very difficult to stop. As the mold grows, it drastically weakens the wood, compromising the structural integrity of your house. This is also a wonderful breeding ground for termites. The soft, rotting wood is an excellent food source and home for these destructive insects. Together these problems can be serious enough to cause a house to collapse.
