The Importance Of Having Your Gutters Cleaned​

Clear gutters are important for both curb appeal and property maintenance. Clear gutters are even more important that tree trimming and lawn maintenance as blocked gutters can result in major damage to your house, 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 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 extensive damage to your property and expensive repairs.

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.

A beehive may cause severe damage to your gutters, and the bees could even get into your roof. 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.

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 also attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
