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. 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 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 cause irreparable damage and costly repairs.

In addition to damaging your property clogged gutters can also be a breeding ground for bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes and insects. They use them in their hunt for other insects and building hives.

A beehive could weigh down your gutters and cause damage to your roof. 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.

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 attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
