A good rule of thumb is to have them cleaned once during spring and once in the fall. Debris, like leaves, can pile up, leading to clogged gutters. Overflowing gutters increase the risk of rainwater entering your home and causing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/conroe-tx-woodlands-puroclean-mitigation-services\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-mold-to-grow-in-a-flooded-home\/\">mold growth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Clogged gutters can also warp and sag. Outfit your gutters with gutter guards. You\u2019ll be able to dedicate less time to clean out your gutters, which also means less time on a ladder &#8212; a major falling hazard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/conroe-tx-woodlands-puroclean-mitigation-services\/blog\/tips-to-prevent-water-damage-to-home-exteriors\/\">Tips to Prevent Water Damage to Home Exteriors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">When gutters and gutter guards work properly, they can keep water from:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\">\u00a0collecting at your home&#8217;s foundation<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">\u00a0causing damage to siding<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">\u00a0causing damage to the roof<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">\u00a0leading to landscaping damaging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\">Rainwater can damage your home&#8217;s foundation and lead to headaches like expensive repairs and mold growth.
