Importance of cleaning gutters
As a home/property owner, you will likely have a long to do list to ensure your property is maintained throughout the year. To prevent costly repairs to your gutters and surrounding property elements, a regular gutter maintenance schedule is advised. We would recommend the clearance and cleaning of gutters to be undertaken once to twice a year to ensure gutters are free-flowing and remain in top shape so that they can efficiently perform the job they are designed for. Cyclical gutter cleaning is important as the longer the gutters are ignored, the worse they will get and the quicker blockages will pop up.
Do your gutters need cleaning?
Blocked gutters are a result of debris build up (including leaves, twigs, and moss etc.) which cause gutters to clog and water to build up. This means that when it rains, water will commonly overflow from your gutter onto your property. This has a consequential effect as this excess water may cause costly damages to your property, such as:
Water Damage
As gutters and downpipes are clogged with debris and leaves, this will prevent rainwater from draining away properly. This overflow of water will commonly land on walls and window surfaces. This is damaging as the brick will absorb this water and cause damage, staining and mould growth to both the exterior and interior of your home.
Roof Structure Damage
Not only can the overflow water from your gutters cause damage to your property’s walls but also to your roof structure. When water continues to flood over, water may find it way through gaps and cracks and leave a rotten / leaky roof in it’s wake.
Cracked Foundations
Gutters are designed to draw water away from your property so when these are blocked and overflowing, rainwater may pool around the foundation of your property. This is damaging as it may wash away the load bearing soil that supports the foundation itself or even cause cracking to the foundations when the water expands and freezes in the colder months of the year.
Attract Pests
Gutters clogged with leaves and debris can make desirable habitat for birds, rodents and insects and the last thing you was to add to your maintenance schedule is pest control.
