(prHWY.com) December 13, 2012 - Ashland, VA -- Ashland, Virginia (November 22, 2012) - A Plus Roofing, a leader among Richmond roofers, is offering gutter cleaning and repair services to help people prepare their rain gutters and roofing systems for the winter. Having clean and functioning gutters can avoid many a problem that can arise resulting from clogged trough systems.
As autumn approaches, this is the ideal time to prepare for winter. Putting away the garden furniture, cleaning out the flowerpots, and oiling the tools - all of these activities are important. However, this is also a good time to clean out the gutter systems of fallen leaves and any debris that can stop them up. Fall is also an excellent time to inspect the condition of the gutters. One thing is to make sure they are attached properly. When they are wobbly, snow and rain can get behind them and cause the wood to rot. Debris, twigs and broken branches that may have accumulated during the fall months can significantly clog the gutters, allowing water seepage to damage the walls, siding and interiors.
Cleaning out the gutters also eliminates the possibility of pests breeding in the roofing of the house. For example, mosquitoes love breeding in stagnant water that can result into something more serious, like the West Nile virus. For this reason, the Centers for Disease Control recommend that homeowners clean out their gutters.
To have them properly cleaned, homeowners should consider hiring the services of a professional Richmond roofing company. A Plus Roofing offers a complete line of services to help residents have a functioning rain gutter system.
