Avoid Water Damage by Cleaning Gutters

11/5/2020 (Permalink)

On a rainy day, a clogged gutter can send water spilling into your home’s foundation, through the roof, or down to your basement. That could cause some serious water damage! 

When you are preparing the autumn to-do list every year, make sure cleaning those gutters are on it. If your gutters are too high, be safe and get a professional to check and clean them.

If you can, take a safe climb up to your roof next Saturday or Sunday and do a visual inspection of your gutters. If you see lots of leaves, birds’ nests, sticks, dirt, moss and whatnot up there, the gutters probably aren’t doing the job you hired them for.   

If you didn’t get to it in time and your gutters have caused a water damage incident, call SERVPRO of Lake Travis / NW Austin. Our trained professionals will respond quickly using state of the art equipment and techniques, while documenting the drying process to make sure your property is dry and the job is done right. “Like it never even happened.”
