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. Having clear gutters is more important than tree trimming or lawn care because blocked gutters can severely damage your home and 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 in their hunt for other insects and building hives.
The weight of a beehive can cause gutter damage and the bees can even penetrate your home. Bees not only sting, but they 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.
Your gutters will also become a breeding ground for carpenter ants, rodents and termites when they are clogged with leaves and debris.
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.
