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.
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 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 as nesting boxes and for hunting other bugs.
The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate your home. Bees not only sting, but they 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.
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. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove these pests.

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 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.

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.
