Protect Your Gutters From Squirrels This Spring!

by Keegan CouillardFeb 13,2016

When was the last time your gutters were cleaned?

Experts suggest that gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, in the spring AND the fall. The following tips regarding gutter maintenance can help you avoid costly repairs to your home in the future!

Why Is This Important?

1.Water Damage: Gutters that function properly should send water away from your home. However, clogged gutters can lead to basement water problems due to water collecting around the foundation of your home. Excess water around the foundation of a home can cause “frost heave” during the winter, which can create cracks along the foundation walls.

Before and After

2. Insects/Rodents: That’s right. Ants, termites, mosquitos, wasps and rodents may call your gutters home. Keeping gutters clog free will send these little guys packing.

3. Ice Dams: During Minnesota winters, clogged gutters can lead to “ice dams.” Ice dams form when snow begins to melt on your roof and then that water freezes into ice at the edge of your roofline. The ice at the edge of your roofline can lead to icicles. (Which is not a good thing!) It can also force additional water into your home since the water on your roof is unable to drain due to the ice dam. Ice dams can lead to gutter, wall and ceiling damage.

Additionally, the weight from the ice can rip your gutter right off of your home! According to Allstate, it is a good idea to have a professional’s remove ice dams from roof since it can be a dangerous task.

Protect your home from damage with a regular cleaning. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a gutter cleaning service give us a call today at 612-254-8777 or email us at info@cleanandclearmn.com

Dillon did an amazing job! The windows look beautiful. He was also helpful in advising we have our sprinkler heads adjusted to avoid the hard water spraying the windows. Next time I’ll have to opt for both exterior and interior!

I have used Clean and Clear for a few years. I can always trust them to do an excellent job at a fair price. I was at work when he came and I didn't have to worry about the quality of the job even though I wasn't present. I will continue to use them for my spring window cleaning.

I have used their services for several years. And everyone is great. From the representatives who answer the phone and schedule to those that come to the house to perform the service. Today I want to give a great big shout out to Kyle and Mike for doing a great job and being so very nice.

Clean and Clear was totally professional with my entire experience. They followed through with scheduling, communication, and on the job work. Johann and Jordan did a great job cleaning our windows. Jordan, who came to the door, was friendly, thorough, and assured me if we had any issues to call them, and they’d be back to correct the problem. I believe they would be. Great customer service and follow through is harder to come by recently. Clean and Clear definitely has high standards. I totally recommend them!
