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. Clear gutters are even more important that tree trimming and lawn maintenance as blocked gutters can result in major damage to your house, 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.

As well as damaging your property clogged gutters provide a perfect environment for mosquitoes, bees, wasps, hornets and other insects to breed. They use them as nesting boxes and for hunting other bugs.

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.

If they are full of leaves and debris, they provide the perfect environment for carpenter ants, rodents and termites to flourish.

The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked gutters. Standing water also attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
