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.

If your gutters are not maintained regularly, they can become clogged with leaves, branches and tree saplings. 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 severe damage to your property and lead to expensive 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. Bees not only sting but 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.

The leaves and other debris also creates a favorable environment for termites, rodents and carpenter ants.

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. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
