Gutter Genius Clogged gutters are a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects, and damp wood (resulting from clogged gutters) can increase the risk of termites and other insect infestation. Rotten fascia and soffit wood are the most common result of clogged gutters. More than $5 billion per year is spent in the U.S. on damage caused by clogged gutters! Cleaning gutters is inconvenient at best, and dangerous at worst. On most homes, gutters should be cleaned 3 to 4 times per year to keep water flowing freely away from the structure. Foundation damage from clogged gutters can result in serious structural issues, leaks and insect infestation. Poor drainage resulting from clogged gutters can result in mold, mildew, drywall damage and other serious issues. Rotten door and window frames are another common result of clogged gutters. Water causes billions of dollars of damage to U.S. homeowners every year. Falls from ladders result in more than 135,000 injuries per year in the U.S., up over 50% in the past decade alone.
