Gutter cleaning prevents wood rot. We do not like to hear this word because it can cost us good money! If the gutters aren't draining properly, there's a good chance water is running behind the gutters, hitting the trim work and anything else that's wood. Wood mixed with constant water flow and moisture is a recipe for wood rot. When the wood starts to rot, gutters can start to sag due to the loosening of the nails.
Protect your Landscaping from stuffed gutters. No one wants to have a waterfall from your gutters hitting your favorite plants and washing out all your mulch and flowers.
Keep wildlife away! If you do not check your gutters, squirrels, raccoons and other pests can make a home up there and potentially eat into your home. This happens often with customers who have lots of trees over them. Having a quality service professional clean out your gutters can help prevent this from getting to far underway.
Prevent thousands of dollars
worth of water damage with consistent maintenance of your gutters. Keeping your gutters unclogged protects your home from wood rot due to improper drainage. If your gutters are clogged, water can overflow between the gutter and fascia board causing damage.
Besides locations with trees, houses that are surrounded by a great deal of dust will likewise require semi-frequent gutter cleaning. Dust forms a layer on the bottom of the guttering that can become heavy and might increase the number of leaks and fractures in the system. Silt and dirt sitting in the gutters shouldn’t be left long, so you need to climb up and examine the system 2-4 times a year.
The typical home that doesn’t meet these conditions will usually
require gutter cleaning two times annually, and potentially some spot cleaning if there’s a leak or clog discovered between cleanings.
