As fall approaches and those beautiful leaves start falling from the trees, it is time to think about cleaning out the gutters on your home. Clogged gutters have the potential to cause major damage. Backed up water can damage siding, seep through walls and damage drywall and insulation as well as flood basements. Most of this damage if caused by rain water would be covered under your Massachusetts Homeowners Insurance policy. But there is always your insurance deductible to think about and the hassle of having to fix the damage and file your homeowners insurance claim.
There are many options when it comes to maintaining your home’s gutters. You can clean them yourself, hire a service, or have a gutter guard system installed. If you are not inclined, or not able to clean your own gutters, we would recommend Marlborough Gutter Cleaning. Joe and Laura Bovaconti are long time clients and good friends of Downey Insurance.
