In this short conversational episode of The Comfort Experts, hosts Derek Cole and William Skipper explain why homeowners should keep both the interior and exterior of their homes clean. They describe how accumulated dust, debris, and skin cells can damage interior finishes such as blinds, curtains, walls, and countertops, and can also clog HVAC filters and coils, reducing system efficiency. They then shift to exterior maintenance, emphasizing the need to keep gutters and downspouts clear to prevent water backup, which can rot fascia boards, damage roofs, and cause water intrusion into crawl spaces. They advise directing downspout discharge away from the house. The segment concludes with a sponsor plug for 1houraircarolinas.com.

Hey, Derek Cole along with William Skipper. Welcome to the Comfort Experts, and today we're talking about keeping it clean. So William, why is it important for the homeowners to keep everything clean?
Well, Derek, dust and debris and skin cells over a period of time can harm finishes on different surfaces in the home like blinds, curtains. Walls, countertops. Also, it can harm appliances. Overabundance of dust and things can accumulate in filters, in coils, and allow units or harm units, the operation of the units, and allow them not to run like they need to.
Also, in the outside of your home, the gutters, downspouts, you should make sure those are clean as well.
Yeah, if your gutters get stopped up and don't allow the water to drain off the roof like it should, it can cause fascia boards to rot on your roof. It can cause roof damage. It can cause damage to the sides of the house. And also, when your downspout comes down, make sure it's penetrated away from the home or terminated away from the home so you can direct that water away from it and try to prevent it from getting back into the crawl space.
Right, right. Good advice. So inside the house or outside the house, dirt, dust, debris can cause harm. To your finishes inside and out. So check us out for more information, 1houraircarolinas.com.
