The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning​

Clean gutters are not only essential for curb appeal but are also a requirement for any property maintenance strategy. 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 gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. If your gutters get blocked, water may not flow freely through them. Your roof will become wetter and water will start to seep into your home. This can cause irreparable damage and costly 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 could weigh down your gutters and cause damage to your roof. Bees not only sting but 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.

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

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.
