Eaves Aren’t the Only Thing That Could be Wrecked

In addition to your eaves, a buildup could result in additional damages to other components of your home. This could include water leaks in your shingle or other crevices. If the eaves gets too much strain, they could also fall off, perhaps hitting a window or anything else you may have sitting  below like flower pots or outdoor furniture.

Utilize Rainwater

By keeping your eaves clean, you are able to harvest rainwater or melting snow. By allowing your rainwater to freely flow into a rain barrel or other rain gathering mechanism, you can use that water to hydrate your plants, garden, or even your lawn.
