The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean
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 gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. 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 lead to extensive damage to your property and 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 for their nests and to hunt other insects.
The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate your home. As well as stinging bees can also cause structural damage to your property. This can lead to flooding in to your home which can damage many things, plus if the water accumulates in the basement or foundations this can cause serious mold and mildew problems.
The leaves and other debris also creates a favorable environment for termites, rodents and carpenter ants.
Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
Gutter Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions
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.
