The Importance Of Having Your Gutters Cleaned​

Clear gutters on your commercial or residential property are not only important for curb appeal, but also essential for property upkeep strategies. Having clear gutters is more important than tree trimming or lawn care because blocked gutters can severely damage your home and 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 are blocked and water cannot flow properly through them, they can cause water to leak into your roof, and to pond on your foundation. This can cause irreparable damage and costly repairs.

In addition to damaging your property clogged gutters can also be a breeding ground for bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes and insects. They use them for their nests and to hunt other insects.

The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate your home. Bees not only sting, but they can also cause structural damage to your property. This can cause a flood in your home and if water is allowed to collect in the basement or foundation, then it can cause serious mold and mildew problems.

Your gutters will also become a breeding ground for carpenter ants, rodents and termites when they are clogged with leaves and debris.

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
