to Gutter Cleaning Denver CO
Have clean the gutters when the weather has been dry, as wet leaves can be heavy and messy. Here’s what you’ll need: a ladder, a trough, a bucket with a metal hook, a garden hose with a nozzle (or an attachment specifically for gutter-cleaning), and work gloves. We recommend a good, sturdy step ladder on level ground, if possible. For two-story homes, you will need to use an extension ladder. If you’re not comfortable with ladders or heights, then it’s best to hire someone to help. There are various types of damage that can result from having dirty gutters and backed up downspouts. Some of the costly consequences are roof rot, foundation damage, damaged gutters, and mold in walls, flooded basements, and unexpected leaks.
Clogged gutters cause a problem by helping water to pool around the foundation, which leads to weakened materials and potential penetration points.
Any wood fascia that exists around your house can start rotting due to clogged gutters. When the water starts to build up and stands stagnant for several days (or even just hours), the wood will start to break down and decompose, causing serious problems.
When the ceiling of your living room starts to look pregnant, you know you have a problem. Clogged gutters can result in frozen water in the winter that stands for several days, blocking the flow of unfrozen water from the roof. This will eventually weaken the shingles and wood on the roof, causing leaks into your attic and home.
Clean gutters do not allow mold to grow. The moisture caused when the water does not drain can also cause mildew. Many times the wood rots in the roof and walls. All of this can cause expensive cleaning and repairs to the home. The stagnant water in unclean gutters is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
