A Step in Time offers a full range of gutter cleaning services. Most home owners do not fully realize the importance of having their gutters cleaned. Home owners will notice the inconvenience of having water overflow on their walkways. Most do not realize that this overflow of water soaks through the soil along their home’s foundations. Many times, the soil is clay and will shrink and swell during flucculations of rainfall saturation. These concrete foundations will lift and fall. This movement is only 1 inch or less but over time can cause severe foundation damage. Many foundation contractors will arrive “after the fact” and recommend installation of resistance piers to stabilize the foundations. A stitch in time can save nine.
