Cleaning your gutters is an essential maintenance task that should not be overlooked for several important reasons:
Preventing Water Damage: The primary function of gutters is to redirect rainwater and melting snow away from your home's foundation. When gutters are clogged with leaves, debris, or dirt, they can't do their job effectively. This can lead to water overflow, which can seep into your home's foundation, causing water damage, basement flooding, and structural issues.
Protecting the Roof: Clogged gutters can cause water to back up onto your roof, potentially leading to rot, mold, and deterioration of roofing materials. Over time, this can result in costly roof repairs or replacement.
Preventing Ice Dams: In cold climates, clogged gutters can contribute to the formation of ice dams on your roof. Ice dams occur when melted snow refreezes at the edge of the roof, causing water to back up under the shingles. This can lead to leaks and roof damage.
Avoiding Landscaping Damage: Overflowing gutters can pour water onto your landscaping, causing soil erosion, plant damage, and the washing away of mulch or decorative stones.
Preventing Basement Flooding: When gutters are not functioning correctly, rainwater can pool around your home's foundation and potentially seep into your basement or crawl space, leading to flooding and damage.
Pest Control: Clogged gutters can become a haven for pests like mosquitoes, birds, squirrels, and insects. Stagnant water in clogged gutters can also provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can pose health risks.
Maintaining Curb Appeal: Clean gutters contribute to the overall appearance of your home. Clogged, overflowing gutters with debris hanging over the sides can detract from your home's curb appeal.
Preventing Fascia and Soffit Damage: When gutters overflow due to blockages, they can damage the fascia (the vertical board behind the gutter) and soffit (the underside of the eaves). This can lead to rot and the need for costly repairs.
Extending Gutter Life: Regularly cleaning and maintaining your gutters can extend their lifespan. Neglected gutters are more prone to rust and deterioration, which may necessitate premature replacement.
Preserving Home Value: Proper maintenance, including gutter cleaning, helps preserve the value of your home. Neglecting gutter maintenance can lead to costly repairs and a decrease in your property's value.
To avoid these potential problems, it's recommended to clean your gutters regularly, typically at least twice a year, in the spring and fall. However, the frequency may vary depending on factors such as the amount of tree cover around your home and local weather conditions. If you're not comfortable or able to clean your gutters yourself, consider hiring a professional gutter cleaning service to ensure the job is done safely and effectively.

“Very impressed this time around!!! (disappointed with communication and delivery in first lockdown) and left a negative review which I updated after delivery. I can now understand all the good reviews before the pandemic. Still the cheapest by far and the products are spot on. I've just placed another order - Thank you keep up the good work” Jason Wright |
