Regular gutter cleaning is important. Your gutters and downpipes should be kept clear of any debris or blockages. This will allow them to continue working properly, keeping rain water away from your home, and protect it from any further damage.
Regular gutter cleaning will prevent this from happening. You can also stop water from entering your foundation and causing serious damage to your property. It can also prevent the rainwater from causing unsightly stains on the sides of your house. You could end up with a damaged siding due to rainwater.
Gutter cleaning seems simple and easy to do by anyone who has some basic DIY skills. However, apart from being time consuming it can also be dangerous, especially for those who are afraid of heights. Gutter cleaning can be dangerous if you don’t possess the necessary tools and skills for the task at hand. It’s worth calling a professional gutter cleaner who is trained and experienced to clean your rain gutters properly. The best way to save money is to hire professional gutter cleaners.
It is recommended that gutter cleaning professionals be hired at least twice annually to achieve the best results. More cleanings may be necessary if your home is located in an area that has a lot of debris and leaves.

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. Having clear gutters is more important than tree trimming or lawn care because blocked gutters can severely damage your home and roof.
Your gutters can get blocked over time by leaves, branches, saplings, or other debris if they aren’t cleaned regularly. 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.
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 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 could lead to a flood inside your home, which if the water accumulates in your basement or foundations 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 water also attracts mosquitoes as they like to breed in it. Consult a professional gutter cleaner if you need to remove these pests.
Gutter Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions
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.
