Cleaning Your Home's Gutter

Keeping your Southern Maine’s gutters cleaned of debris and animal nests can help you save a considerable amount of money and frustration in the future. Clogged gutters prohibit your gutters from doing their job: diverting water off your home. Instead, your foundation, windows, fascia, soffits, and basement are all at risk of rot, mildew, mold, insect infestations, and decay when you suffer from clogged gutters. Clogged roofs can also cause roof leaks.

Keep Animals & Debris Out of Your Gutter

Leaf-proof and Leaf Defier gutter guards work to help keep your home safe from potential damage due to clogged gutters. Leaf guards sit in your gutter and allow water to flow through, but prevent animals from nesting in your gutter and keep leaves and other debris out. 

Do animals live in your gutter?

If your gutter is not cleaned, it can be a breeding ground for bugs and rodents. Common animals that live in Southern Maine gutters include:

These and other pests will come alive in the debris trapped in your Southern Maine gutters, eventually making their way into your home.

Rodents like mice will also crawl through the debris in your gutters, attracting them towards and eventually into your home. You can easily prevent this headache by having Critter Control of Southern Maine clean, repair, and maintain your gutters!
