Ignoring the importance of regular maintenance to your gutters and roof could eventually lead to several thousand dollars worth of interior damage. This damage could result in mold growth, and structural issues within the home. As seen in the pictures below, a clogged gutter, (filled with just leaves), resulted in severe interior water damage and mold growth, while also compromising the sheathing. The drywall and insulation needed to be removed, the sheathing had to be treated and the interior was structurally dried, all because of poor maintenance. Remember, the coming of summer doesn’t just mean a change of weather. It also is a reminder of several household maintenance items that should be addressed.
