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.

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 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 for their nests and to hunt other insects.

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.

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