The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning
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 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 costly repairs and devastating damage.
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.
A beehive may cause severe damage to your gutters, and the bees could even get into your roof. 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.
If they are full of leaves and debris, they provide the perfect environment for carpenter ants, rodents and termites to flourish.
Clogged gutters can also lead to stagnant water accumulation. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. A professional gutter cleaning company is recommended if you are looking to eliminate these pests.
