The Importance of Gutter Cleaning
Leaves in Gutter
Many Massapequa Park homeowners ignore gutter cleaning, but you’d be surprised how important your gutters are for protecting your home.

When leaves and other debris built up in your gutters, they no longer drain correctly. This can cause a wide variety of problems.
