Residential & Commercial Gutter Cleaning Services Kirkhamgate
Cleaning your gutters 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 will prevent this from happening. It can also protect your foundation from water damage by keeping water away. It can also stop rainwater from leaving unsightly stains on the side your house. Your home could be damaged if debris from the rain erodes the siding.
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. If you don’t have the right tools or skills to do it safely, you might end up in a dangerous situation. This is why it’s important to contact a gutter cleaning company in your area that has the necessary training and knowledge to ensure that your rain gutters function properly and do so in the most efficient manner. It will cost you less long-term to hire a professional gutter cleaner.
A professional gutter cleaner should be booked at least twice per calendar year to ensure the best possible results. You may need more cleanings if you live in an area with lots of leaves and debris.

The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning
Clean gutters are not only essential for curb appeal but are also a requirement for any property maintenance strategy. 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 lead to extensive damage to your property and expensive 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 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. As well as stinging bees can also cause structural damage to your property. This can lead to flooding in to your home which can damage many things, plus if the water accumulates in the basement or foundations this 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. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove 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.
