The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean​

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.

Your gutters can get blocked over time by leaves, branches, saplings, or other debris if they aren’t cleaned regularly. If your gutters become blocked with debris, this will impede the water flow which can cause water to build up and leak into your roof and pin on your foundations. This can lead to extensive damage to your property and expensive repairs.

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 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 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.

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

The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked gutters. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove these pests.
