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 you don’t clean your gutters regularly, then they can become blocked by branches, leaves, tree saplings, and other debris. 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 cause severe damage to your property and lead to 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 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. As well as 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.

Clogged gutters can also lead to stagnant water accumulation. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
