The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning​

Clear gutters on your commercial or residential property are not only important for curb appeal, but also essential for property upkeep strategies. Clear gutters are more important than trimming trees and maintaining your lawn. Clogged gutters can lead to major damage to your home, including your roof.

If your gutters are not maintained regularly, they can become clogged with leaves, branches and tree saplings. 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 to make hives and hunt other insect species.

A beehive may cause severe damage to your gutters, and the bees could even get into your roof. As well as stinging bees 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.

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

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing water also attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove these pests.
