The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean​

Clean gutters are not only essential for curb appeal but are also a requirement for any property maintenance strategy. 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 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 for their nests and to hunt other insects.

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 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.

If they are full of leaves and debris, they provide the perfect environment for carpenter ants, rodents and termites to flourish.

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. A professional gutter cleaning company is recommended if you are looking to eliminate these pests.
