Trying to save money by thinking “I can do that myself” can sometimes end up backfiring. If you’re not 100% sure of what you’re doing you could easily damage the guttering by leaning the ladders on them causing a crack. Not to mention if you ended up having a fall meaning you can’t go about your daily life for a number of weeks.
Gutters fill and get clogged up over time especially during autumn as the leaves fall off of the trees and the rain washes them into your gutters. This means the gutters become particularly heavy resulting in damage to the brackets and gutters themselves.

As the gutters fill with debris they’re prevented from doing their job and water can no longer escape from the property properly, meaning the water will follow the path of resistance and seep into walls and the roof of your home. If this is ignored for too long it can lead to rot and mold build up which can trigger health issues and require costly repairs or replacements.

When your gutters become blocked, the water will back up and cause a pool of water on your roof instead. That water will soon turn into a leak and if left untreated can cause collapsing and severe damage to your home. Cleaning your gutters is an investment that can save you a lot of money in repairs or replacement in the future.
Once the gutters become blocked they’ll soon overflow and cause pools to form along your property’s foundation, in the winter this can end up freezing which can cause the water to expand and generate cracks and damage to your foundation.

The same thing has happened with gutter cleaning, more and more companies are using a gutter vacuum system, this enables them to clear gutters 40ft in the air with their feet safely on the ground. Using a wireless camera they can see inside the gutters to make sure they are fully clear
