Commercial & Residential Gutter Cleaning Services Great Preston
Getting your gutters cleaned regularly is important. Clearing out debris and blockages from your gutters or downpipes will ensure they function properly to keep rainwater away from your home and prevent any serious damage.
Regular gutter cleaning is a good way to prevent your gutters from flooding. You can also stop water from entering your foundation and causing serious damage to your property. It can also protect the walls of your property from unsightly rainwater stains. Plus your sidings can be damaged by the rainwater debris.
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. You could end up in a dangerous situation if you don’t have the right tools or skills for the job. It is worth contacting a local gutter cleaning company that has the knowledge and training to make sure your rain gutters work properly and in the most efficient manner. A professional gutter cleaner will help you save money over time.
To ensure that your gutters are clean and clear, it is a good idea to hire a professional at least twice a year. More cleanings may be necessary if your home is located in an area that has a lot of debris and leaves.

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. 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 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.
In addition to damaging your property clogged gutters can also be a breeding ground for bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes and insects. They use them as nesting boxes and for hunting other bugs.
A beehive may cause severe damage to your gutters, and the bees could even get into your roof. Bees not only sting but 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.
If they are full of leaves and debris, they provide the perfect environment for carpenter ants, rodents and termites to flourish.
The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked gutters. Standing stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
Gutter Cleaning FAQs
How often should the gutters be cleaned on a house?
As a minimum, you should check your gutters twice a year - once after autumn and once after spring. If the weather is particularly bad throughout the year, you should check on them three or four times – just in case there's more debris than normal.
What happens if you don't clean gutter?
When you don't clean your gutters, the downspout can get clogged from leaves, debris, or any matter that can wind up there. This blockage then leaves standing water to collect and eventually overflow. Left unattended to, the leaves that clog up your gutter can begin to decompose and eventually rot.
What should gutter cleaning include?
Gutter cleaning is the process of removing any debris, dirt, and leaves from your gutters and downspouts that clog your gutter system and stop rainwater from flowing freely from the roof to the ground. Professionals may scoop the debris by hand or by machine.
Do gutter guards work?
The short answer is yes, gutter guards work. While they can't guarantee that you'll never have clogged gutters again, they can significantly reduce the number of times you need to clean your gutters and lower the risk of damage to your home and property due to clogged gutters and sitting water.
How hard is it to clean your own gutters?
It can be easy to put off cleaning gutters, but it's a necessary job that isn't difficult and will keep them working properly. Rain gutters get clogged with leaves and other debris over time, so it's best to clean them regularly to avoid more difficult work later. The good news is, it's not hard to clean gutters.
