Orangevale, CA: As Northern Californians are feeling the rainy season, many are reflecting on how important gutters are to keeping your home safe from water damage. Wash Works, an exterior cleaning company servicing Folsom, Orangevale, and the Greater Sacramento area, is promoting their gutter cleaning service as an essential rainy season preventive maintenance for the region's gutters.
Gutters have one job, and that is to protect your home from the damage that rain can cause by diverting rain away from the roof, walls, and foundation. However, seasonal debris can be a major challenge in Folsom and the NorCal area. Oak and pine trees, which are the most common trees in the area, shed large amounts of leaves and needles. This shed occurs in the dry season and teams up with seed pods, roof sediment, and dirt to fill and clog gutters and downspouts.
From the ground, it may not be apparent that there are problems with the flow of rainwater in the gutters, but the first major rain of the fall reveals the problems. Clogged gutters can cause overflowing gutters, fascia rot, roof leaks, foundation saturation, and landscape erosion. The clogging materials that cause this are the oak leaves and pine needles. They not only clog gutters when mixed with roof granules, but they also form dense clogs that can be difficult to detect on the ground. Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow onto the foundation of the house. The extra weight of the water can cause the gutters to detach from the fascia boards, leading to even more damage and more expensive repairs.
Wash Works tackles seasonal risks by getting gutter cleaning done while storms are actively moving through the region. The company manually removes the debris, unclogs the downspouts, and checks the drainage flow so that rainwater can be directed down the drainage system away from the house. This approach helps to prevent damage from occurring that could lead to the need to call emergency services when the rain season starts.
The company also suggests that seasonal gutter cleaning be done as a home maintenance schedule. Cleaning in the fall focuses on the removal of leaf buildup prior to the winter storms, and the spring cleaning on the other hand tackles the pollen and the fine debris that can be a moisture trap and lead to mold. With regular maintenance, gutter systems can be preserved and the strain on the fascia boards and roofing material is reduced.
Along with gutter cleaning, Wash Works also offers pressure washing services for the outside of driveways, sidewalks, siding, and other hard surfaces. Over the years, dirt, grease, and other environmental factors can collect and negatively impact the quality and condition of these surfaces. Regular cleaning helps maintain the quality of outside surfaces and helps with the overall quality of the property.
With the rainy season upon us, Wash Works continues to support homeowners in Folsom and nearby areas with dependable seasonal services that help maintain the quality of the property and help minimize the risk of damage during the winter.
