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. Clear gutters are even more important that tree trimming and lawn maintenance as blocked gutters can result in major damage to your house, particularly your 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 lead to costly repairs and devastating damage.
In addition to damaging your property clogged gutters can also be a breeding ground for bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes and insects. They use them as nesting boxes and for hunting other bugs.
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 cause a flood in your home and if water is allowed to collect in the basement or foundation, then it 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.
The accumulation of stagnant rainwater is another problem that can be caused by blocked gutters. Standing water attracts mosquitos and other insects, which breed in stagnant water. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
Gutter Cleaning FAQs
What happens if you dont clean roof gutters?
Over time, the downspout will get clogged from leaves, debris, or any matter that can wind up there. This blockage then leaves standing water to collect and eventually overflow and seep through into your walls and roof, creating cracks and fissures along the way. These expand as more water enters, and can eventually compromise the foundations of your homeLeft unattended to, the leaves that clog up your gutter can begin to decompose and eventually rot
Can you clean gutters from the ground?
Cleaning gutters from the ground is effective and is by far the safest gutter cleaning method. You will need to proceed slowly and systematically because you can't really see what you're doing, and yes, it will probably take you a little longer than it would if you were standing on a ladder.
Can you clean gutters in winter?
Winter Gutter Cleaning Tending to gutters in the cold winter months may sound like a daunting task, however, it is perhaps the most important time for a gutter system to function optimally. During the early winter months, there may still be leaves, nuts and other debris falling from the trees.
Is standing water in gutters normal?
Standing water in your gutters is not normal and can indicate a major problem. Gutters protect your home from basement flooding, mold growth, and foundation problems.
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.
