The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning​

In addition to maintaining your property’s curb appeal clear gutters are also a requirement for any property maintenance strategy. 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 gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. 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 lead to extensive damage to your property and expensive 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 in their hunt for other insects and building hives.

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 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.

The leaves and other debris also creates a favorable environment for termites, rodents and carpenter ants.

Clogged gutters can also lead to stagnant water accumulation. Mosquitos are are attracted to the standing water as they like to breed in it. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove these pests.
