A gutter full of fall leaves may look like a maintenance problem.
But what happens after the water stops moving can become much more expensive.
Clogged gutters can allow water to overflow or back up around the roofline and foundation. State Farm notes that gutter problems can contribute to roof and fascia damage, moisture problems, foundation damage, and flooded basements.
And here is something homeowners should know before assuming insurance will take care of the damage:
How the damage happened matters.
Homeowners insurance is generally intended to cover sudden and accidental losses. Damage connected to ongoing neglect or poor maintenance may not be covered, depending on the policy and circumstances.
That makes keeping fall debris out of the gutter more than a matter of appearance.
MicroMax™ uses stainless-steel micro-mesh designed to help keep leaves and finer debris from entering the gutter while allowing rainwater through.
Because the better question is not only:
“What happens if my gutters clog?”
It is:
“What can I do before they do?”
