The Importance Of Having Your Gutters Cleaned​

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

Your gutters can get blocked over time by leaves, branches, saplings, or other debris if they aren’t cleaned regularly. 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 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 in their hunt for other insects and building hives.

The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate your home. Apart from 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.

Your gutters will also become a breeding ground for carpenter ants, rodents and termites when they are clogged with leaves and debris.

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing water also attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
