The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean​

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 you don’t clean your gutters regularly, then they can become blocked by branches, leaves, tree saplings, and other debris. 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 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 they 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.

When filled with leaves or other debris they also provide a perfect environment to allow rodents, termites and carpenter ants to thrive.

The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked gutters. Standing stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. A professional gutter cleaning company is recommended if you are looking to eliminate these pests.
