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. Having clear gutters is more important than tree trimming or lawn care because blocked gutters can severely damage your home and roof.

If gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. If your gutters get blocked, water may not flow freely through them. Your roof will become wetter and water will start to seep into your home. This can lead to extensive damage to your property and 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.

A beehive could weigh down your gutters and cause damage to your roof. Apart from stinging bees 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 stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
