The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning​

Clear gutters are important for both curb appeal and property maintenance. 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 costly repairs and devastating damage.

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 may cause severe damage to your gutters, and the bees could even get into 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.

The leaves and other debris also creates a favorable environment for termites, rodents and carpenter ants.

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Mosquitos are are attracted to the standing water as they like to breed in it. A professional gutter cleaning company is recommended if you are looking to eliminate these pests.
