Foundation Damage:

A home’s foundation is obviously important. It is just that. . . the foundation of the home. It needs to be protected so that everything above it is in sound shape for years to come. If your gutters aren’t functioning properly, they can cause water to rush over the gutters and then seep into your foundation. This can cause water damage in your basement, shifting property, cracks, and more.

Ruined Landscaping:

Spring and summer mean it’s time to plant new flowers, lay new mulch, or finally pave that new brick patio you’ve been dreaming of for years. If gutters are ignored, they can damage all the hard work you put into your landscaping and outdoor space. This will be costly and inconvenient to repair after all the hard work put into creating an outdoor area you love.

Pests Will Move In:

By ignoring your gutters, you may be sending out an open invitation to pests and rodents to move in. When water pools inside of the gutters it can create an infestation, which can ultimately spread into your walls and the interior of your home. Additionally, mosquitoes and other bugs that breed in water can stick around near the base of your home if your downspouts aren’t functioning right. That is a bad combination with Midwest summers.

A Leaky Roof:

When you don’t maintain your gutters, the debris that builds up over the summer and fall will contribute to ice dams on your roof during the winter. This means that as the snow melts, it can cause leaks in the areas of your roof where the ice dams were. Not only would you then need to fix your gutters, but you’d have roof and water damage to deal with also.

Curb Appeal (Or Lack Of):

Have you ever seen a house with little helicopter-looking trees growing out of their gutters? Silver Maple seeds and other debris will fall right into your gutters and start growing very quickly. Gutters that are full are an eyesore to the curb appeal of your home, and to the neighborhood. Once the gutters are finally cleaned out they may be stained or weathered from being so dirty, which can decrease your home’s resale value.
