Gutter Cleaning in CT & MA: Why You Can’t Afford to Skip It This Rainy Season
If you live in Connecticut or Massachusetts, you’ve felt it — the relentless spring rains pounding on your roof, flooding driveways, and soaking everything in sight. But there’s one area many homeowners forget to check until it’s too late.
Your gutters.
The Silent Threat Above Your Head
Gutters are your home’s first line of defense against water damage. When they’re clogged with leaves, pine needles, dirt, or roof grit, water can’t flow properly — and it spills over, seeping into places it shouldn’t.
Just look at the numbers:
1 inch of rain on a 1,000 sq. ft. roof = 623 gallons of water.
The average house in CT/MA has a 1,500-2,500 sq. ft. roof — meaning each storm can dump over 1,500 gallons of water on your property.
FEMA reports that just one inch of water in your basement can cause up to $25,000 in damage.
And if your gutters aren’t working right, that water has nowhere to go but down your walls, into your foundation, or behind your siding.
Top 5 Problems Caused by Clogged Gutters
Basement Flooding
Foundation Cracks
Roof Rot & Leaks
Pest Infestations (standing water = mosquito breeding ground)
Siding & Paint Damage
It’s not just cosmetic — it’s costly. Regular gutter maintenance can save you thousands in repairs and prevent insurance claims down the line.
Why Spring Is the Worst (and Best) Time
All those beautiful New England trees? They shed pollen, flowers, seeds, and debris — right into your gutters. Pair that with steady rain and you’ve got a recipe for disaster if you don’t clean them out.
That’s why April through June is peak time for gutter clogs and overflow issues in the Northeast.
