Do You Know What’s in Your Gutters?

There are numerous factors that contribute to a home or business being impacted by a flood. In the winter, a common cause of a flood, especially in a basement, is when gutters are clogged by ice or snow which causes them to crack or break. During the winter months, snow and ice builds-up in gutters, which prevents the melted elements from flowing properly down the downspouts and away from the structure. If any debris, such as twigs and leaves, are also in the gutters, this can cause increased damage by cracking or breaking the gutter and downspout, resulting in the ice and snow to collect near the structure’s foundation and saturating the soil. As the soil continuously becomes saturated, it puts pressure on the structure which may result in cracks in the foundation and basement or lower-level flooding.
Unfortunately, many people do not know that their home or business is prone to flooding, unless they routinely check the foundation for cracks or holes, and maintains the structure’s gutter system to ensure water is being directed away from the building. We all know cleaning the gutters and keeping up with routine household or business maintenance is not as exciting as spending the weekend yelling at the T.V. while your favorite sports team loses or laying on the couch with some hot chocolate while your dog eyes your every move, but preventive measures now may help your sanity and wallet in the future.
