What Can Happen If I Don’t Clean My Rain Gutters?
Clogged gutters can pose a weight strain on your roof and the brackets. If the gutters are too full, they could possibly collapse off the roof of your home, causing damage to the shingles of the roof and the exterior of the house.
Gutters are designed to collect rainwater from the roof and carry it away from the foundation of the home through downspouts. Since both the gutters and downspouts need to be clear in order to carry out this task, having clogged gutters could cause an overflow of water.
A routine cleaning of your gutters can prevent damage to your roof, exterior and foundation, saving you thousands in possible repair costs.

How Often Should I Have My Gutters Cleaned?
That is a great question. And the answer is….it depends on the type of trees and debris you have around your property. In the East Bay Area we have redwoods, pine tree, and oak trees. We have found through years of experience that you should have your gutters cleaned one to two times per year. Anymore than twice a year and we would recommend gutter guards. Go Green offers discounted prices for continual maintenance nearby. Please ask about our maintenance programs.

Underground Drain Pipe Clogs
Gutters are designed to divert water down and away from the foundation of your home. Once the water is down to ground level, there are several ways to channel it away. A simple as a plastic tray under the downspout is very common, or some type of corrugated tubing connected to the downspout to lead it away from the home. A lot more than just water comes down through these openings. Quite a bit of debris from your trees and roof makes its way down with the water. Quite naturally, most people with underground drain pipes don’t spend their time thinking about what comes down the gutter downspouts. Leaves, pine straw, shingle granules, small twigs and anything else that may land on your roof, will flow to the downspouts and into your underground drain pipes.
Understandably, most people do not think about what is flowing down their gutter downspouts and into the ground. It is just there and the only time you may notice it is when some sort of problem arises. This debris coming from above sits in these drain pipes and will eventually compost into dirt, which becomes mud when it rains. It just gets thicker over a period of time until it fills the pipe and clogs it completely.
