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 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 cause severe damage to your property and lead to 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 for their nests and to hunt other insects.

This can cause a flood in your home and if water is allowed to collect in the basement or foundation, then it 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.

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
