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.

Gutter cleaning can seem to be able to be done by anyone with basic DIY skills. But apart from being time-consuming, it can also be scary for people who are afraid to climb ladders. Gutter cleaning can be dangerous if you don’t possess the necessary tools and skills for the task at hand. 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 Having Your Gutters Cleaned​

Clear gutters on your commercial or residential property are not only important for curb appeal, but also essential for property upkeep strategies. Having clear gutters is more important than tree trimming or lawn care because blocked gutters can severely damage your home and roof.

Your gutters can get blocked over time by leaves, branches, saplings, or other debris if they aren’t cleaned regularly. 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 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 in their hunt for other insects and building hives.

A beehive could weigh down your gutters and cause damage to your roof. 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.

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. Mosquitos are are attracted to the standing water as they like to breed in it. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.

Gutter Cleaners Frequently Asked Questions

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.
