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.
If gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. If your gutters are blocked and water cannot flow properly through them, they can cause water to leak into your roof, and to pond on your foundation. This can cause severe damage to your property and lead to 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 to make hives and hunt other insect species.
A beehive may cause severe damage to your gutters, and the bees could even get into your roof. 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. Mosquitos are are attracted to the standing water as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
