The Importance Of Having Your Gutters Cleaned​

Clean gutters are not only essential for curb appeal but are also a requirement for any property maintenance strategy. 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 lead to costly repairs and devastating damage.

In addition to property damage clogged gutters are also a perfect breeding place for insects, bees, wasps hornets and mosquitoes. They use them as nesting boxes and for hunting other bugs.

A beehive can cause a lotto damage to your gutters and roof, which can allow the bees to get into your home. Bees not only sting, but they can also cause structural damage to your property. This can lead to flooding in to your home which can damage many things, plus if the water accumulates in the basement or foundations this 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.

Clogged gutters can also lead to stagnant water accumulation. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
