The Importance Of Having Your Gutters Cleaned​

Clear gutters on your commercial or residential property are not only important for curb appeal, but also essential for property upkeep strategies. Keeping your gutters clean is more important than lawn trimming or tree trimming because blocked gutters can cause major damage to your home, particularly your roof.

If your gutters are not maintained regularly, they can become clogged with leaves, branches and tree saplings. 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.

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 can cause a flood in your home and if water is allowed to collect in the basement or foundation, then it can cause serious mold and mildew problems.

If they are full of leaves and debris, they provide the perfect environment for carpenter ants, rodents and termites to flourish.

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing water also attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
