The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean
Clear gutters are important for both curb appeal and property maintenance. 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.
In addition to damaging your property clogged gutters can also be a breeding ground for bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes and insects. They use them in their hunt for other insects and building hives.
The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate your home. Apart from 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.
When filled with leaves or other debris they also provide a perfect environment to allow rodents, termites and carpenter ants to thrive.
Standing water is another issue caused by clogged 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.
