Those dark stains on your brick might be telling you something about your gutters! š
With fall underway here in North Texas, now is a great time to make sure your gutters are clear and draining properlyāespecially before the heavier leaf buildup and cooler, wetter weather arrive.
Take a look at this home.
What looks like shadows on the brick is actually dark staining and organic growth developing beneath a gutter that hasnāt been draining correctly.
When gutters overflow repeatedly, water can run down your homeās exterior, wash out flower beds, and create the damp conditions where algae, mold, and moss can thrive.
And sometimes the culprit isnāt even leaves!
Weāve seen gutters blocked by everything from bird nests to toys and other unexpected debris.
Hereās the important part: Cleaning the stains without fixing the gutter wonāt solve the underlying problem.
First, we clear the blockage and restore proper drainage. Then, when needed, a professional soft wash can help clean up the affected brick and restore your homeās curb appeal.
