The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean
In addition to maintaining your property’s curb appeal clear gutters 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.

Your roof will become wetter and water will start to seep into your home. 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 as nesting boxes and for hunting other bugs.

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. Mosquitos are are attracted to the standing water as they like to breed in it. Professional gutter cleaners are recommended for removing these pests.
