Regular gutter cleaning is important. Your gutters and downpipes should be kept clear of any debris or blockages. This will allow them to continue working properly, keeping rain water away from your home, and protect it from any further damage.

Gutter cleaning seems simple and easy to do by anyone who has some basic DIY skills. However, apart from being time consuming it can also be dangerous, especially for those who are afraid of heights.

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.
If gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. 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 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 as nesting boxes and for hunting other bugs.
The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate 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.
Your gutters will also become a breeding ground for carpenter ants, rodents and termites when they are clogged with leaves and debris.
The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked gutters. Standing water also attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
