Gutters can be a source of roof leaks. Clogged gutters can cause rainwater to back up and go under your shingles into your roof.
Therefore, it is important to keep your gutters clear because not doing so leads to leaks and other roof problems, such as moss buildup on shingles and shingle deterioration.
Keeping your gutters clear is part of regular roof maintenance. Not doing so can void the manufacturer's warranty of your roofing material because the fine print requires regular maintenance.
Gutter cleaning in the late fall should be included with a regular roof inspection to ensure your roof stays in tip-top shape.
Downspout cleanouts
Absolute Roof Solutions can also install downspout cleanouts in your downspouts. This filter allows debris to be flushed down your downspout, where it will be trapped at a level where you can easily clean the filter from the ground. This eliminates the need for a screen filter at roof level over the downspouts, which, when they clog, backup your entire gutter drainage system.
