The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean​

Clear gutters are important for both curb appeal and property maintenance. Keeping your gutters clean is more important than lawn trimming or tree trimming because blocked gutters can cause major damage to your home, particularly your roof.

If you don’t clean your gutters regularly, then they can become blocked by branches, leaves, tree saplings, and other debris. If your gutters get blocked and the rain water can’t flow through them properly, it can lead to water leaking onto your roof and into your home’s foundation. This can lead to extensive damage to your property and expensive repairs.

In addition to property damage clogged gutters are also a perfect breeding place for insects, bees, wasps hornets and mosquitoes. They use them to make hives and hunt other insect species.

A beehive may cause severe damage to your gutters, and the bees could even get into your roof. Apart from stinging bees can also cause structural damage to your property. This could lead to a flood inside your home, which if the water accumulates in your basement or foundations can cause serious mold and mildew problems.

When filled with leaves or other debris they also provide a perfect environment to allow rodents, termites and carpenter ants to thrive.

Clogged gutters can also lead to stagnant water accumulation. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
