What happens if I don’t clean my gutters?

• <div><p>Not cleaning your gutters could lead to serious problems, including leaks, water-damaged siding and fascia, and foundation damage and leaking. The leaves and debris that clog your gutters create the ideal environment for mold and mildew, which can eventually rot the fascia board.</p><p>Water will start to leak and overflow, which could damage your roof or other areas of your home. You may notice pooling in your yard, which can freeze and damage your driveway or patio. Cleaning your gutters at least once or twice a year is best to avoid expensive repairs and replacements.</p></div>

How long does it take copper gutters to turn green?

• <div><p>Oxidation is what causes copper to turn green. This oxidation is called a patina or verdigris, and in general, the process can take a few years. Your local temperature and humidity conditions play a big role, however; some gutters may not begin to turn green for 20 to 30 years if you keep <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keep-copper-clean-clever-copper-creations.htm">them clean and maintained</a>. Some homeowners prefer the penny-like sheen of copper. In some cases, you can prevent oxidation by regularly using a specialized anti-tarnishing finish.</p></div>

What happens if you don’t have gutters?

• <div><p>While gutters really only offer pros without any cons, some people dislike the appearance of gutters. Upgrading to an architectural option can help you to reduce the eyesore caused by mainstream gutters. In addition, some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-gutters-your-home.htm">types of gutters</a> are prone to expanding, contracting, or sagging if they aren't properly maintained. If enough weight builds up within a gutter system, your gutters can begin to pull away from your home. </p></div>

Q: Are there alternatives to a gutter system?

• <div><p>Yes, you can opt to use one of these gutter system alternatives. The most traditional alternative is rain chains, which are literally heavy chains dangling from your roof&rsquo;s edge to divert rainwater. A rain dispersal system may also come in handy as it breaks up the water on your roof. Most gutters already come with a dripedge to help direct water into gutters. However, we recommend installing a full gutter system to protect your home and use alternative methods as additional protection.</p></div>

Q: Is there a downside to gutter guards?

• <div><p>Gutter guards can effectively reduce debris buildup and minimize maintenance, but if you don't get the right type for your house, you can run into issues. Some types of guards can clog with small debris like pine needles, which require occasional cleaning. High-quality guards may be expensive, and improper installation can impact water flow. Certain guards may not perform well in heavy rain, causing water to overshoot the gutter. </p></div>

While the installation of the gutters and the Leaf Filter system went well, the system has failed. The sales pitch is to eliminate gutter cleaning. Our original gutters had a gutter guard system in place to keep maple tree seedlings out. The seedlings would get trapped in the guard and...

Basically we didn't have any problems with scheduling or anything like that. In the end, their work was probably a B to a B-plus. They showed up super late around 4 or 5 pm and then tried to clean our windows in the dark so that didn't really work out too well.
