The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean​

Clear gutters are important for both curb appeal and property maintenance. Clear gutters are even more important that tree trimming and lawn maintenance as blocked gutters can result in major damage to your house, particularly your roof.

If gutters are not regularly cleaned, they can become blocked from leaves, branches, tree saplings, etc. If your gutters are blocked and water cannot flow properly through them, they can cause water to leak into your roof, and to pond on your foundation. This can lead to extensive damage to your property and expensive repairs.

In addition to property damage clogged gutters are also a perfect breeding place for insects, bees, wasps hornets and mosquitoes. They use them to make hives and hunt other insect species.

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 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.

Clogged gutters can also lead to stagnant water accumulation. Standing stagnant water attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove these pests.
