The Importance Of Gutter Cleaning
Clean gutters are not only essential for curb appeal but are also a requirement for any property maintenance strategy. Keeping your gutters clean is more important than lawn trimming or tree trimming because blocked gutters can cause major damage to your home, particularly your roof.
If gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. 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 irreparable damage and costly 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 to make hives and hunt other insect species.
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 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.
If they are full of leaves and debris, they provide the perfect environment for carpenter ants, rodents and termites to flourish.
Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Standing stagnant water 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.
Gutter Cleaning FAQs
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.
What happens if you don't clean gutter?
When you don't clean your gutters, the downspout can get clogged from leaves, debris, or any matter that can wind up there. This blockage then leaves standing water to collect and eventually overflow. Left unattended to, the leaves that clog up your gutter can begin to decompose and eventually rot.
What should gutter cleaning include?
Gutter cleaning is the process of removing any debris, dirt, and leaves from your gutters and downspouts that clog your gutter system and stop rainwater from flowing freely from the roof to the ground. Professionals may scoop the debris by hand or by machine.
Do gutter guards work?
The short answer is yes, gutter guards work. While they can't guarantee that you'll never have clogged gutters again, they can significantly reduce the number of times you need to clean your gutters and lower the risk of damage to your home and property due to clogged gutters and sitting water.
How hard is it to clean your own gutters?
It can be easy to put off cleaning gutters, but it's a necessary job that isn't difficult and will keep them working properly. Rain gutters get clogged with leaves and other debris over time, so it's best to clean them regularly to avoid more difficult work later. The good news is, it's not hard to clean gutters.
