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

If your gutters are not maintained regularly, they can become clogged with leaves, branches and tree saplings. If your gutters become blocked with debris, this will impede the water flow which can cause water to build up and leak into your roof and pin on your foundations. 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 to make hives and hunt other insect species.

A beehive can cause a lotto damage to your gutters and roof, which can allow the bees to get into your home. Apart from 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.

The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked gutters. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
