For homeowners in King and Snohomish Counties, ignoring your gutters can lead to costly consequences. Our region's heavy annual rainfall and abundant tree debris create a perfect storm for serious damage. A clogged gutter system can cause:
Roof Damage: Clogged gutters cause water to pool, seeping under shingles and leading to leaks or rot. Cost: between $500-$5,000 for repairs.
Foundation Issues: Overflowing water erodes soil or cracks foundations. Cost: around $2,000-$20,000 to fix.
Siding Damage: Water runoff harms siding, paint, or wood, causing rot or mold. Cost: about $1,000-$10,000.
Gutter Damage: Heavy debris causes sagging, cracking, or corrosion, requiring replacement. Cost: anywhere from $1,000-$4,000.
The Solution: Regular maintenance is your best defense. We recommend cleaning your gutters twice a year to prevent debris buildup and downspout cogs. With a typical cost of $150 to $225 per session, it is a small investment that can help you avoid thousands of dollars in potential home repairs.
