The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning​

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.

If gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. If your gutters get blocked and the rain water can’t flow through them properly, it can lead to water leaking onto your roof and into your home’s foundation. This can cause irreparable damage and costly 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 to make hives and hunt other insect species.

The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate your home. Bees not only sting, but they 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.

The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked 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.
