This is because blocked gutters can cause water to overflow and come in direct contact with a home\u2019s wooden fascia board causing them to rot.\u00a0 The damage from clogged gutters doesn\u2019t stop there, this rot will cause the gutters to pull away from the house, spilling water near your foundation and landscaping.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Blocked Gutters Are a Hotspot &amp; Breeding Ground for Mosquitoes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Gutters clogged with dirty rainwater and organic debris provide the perfect breeding ground environment for mosquitoes to populate.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ice Dams\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The dangers of clogged gutters in the winter spell real trouble because they lead to build-up up on your roof, causing ice dams to form.\u00a0 If left long enough, the water will leak into your attic, getting your insulation wet, causing thousands of dollars in damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s why clogged gutters spell real trouble. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4219,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[298],"tags":[310,311,313,348,349,350],"class_list":["post-4218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gutters","tag-best-gutter-guard","tag-clean-gutters","tag-gutter-prices","tag-leaf-gutter-guard","tag-one-piece-gutters","tag-gutter-company"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Damage From Clogged Gutters | LeafGuard\u00ae of Cincinnati<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Know the dangers of clogged gutters &amp; how overflowing rainwater can cause home damage like foundation issues, ice dams, &amp; rotten fascia boards.
