The Importance Of Having Your Gutters Cleaned
Clean gutters are not only essential for curb appeal but are also a requirement for any property maintenance strategy. 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 get blocked, water may not flow freely through them. Your roof will become wetter and water will start to seep into your home. This can cause irreparable damage and costly 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 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.
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 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.
