The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean​

Clear gutters are important for both curb appeal and property maintenance. 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.

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 property damage clogged gutters are also a perfect breeding place for insects, bees, wasps hornets and mosquitoes. They use them for their nests and to hunt other insects.

A beehive can cause a lotto damage to your gutters and roof, which can allow the bees to get into your home. Bees not only sting but can also cause structural damage to your property.

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

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove these pests.
