The Importance Of Keeping Your Gutters Clean
Clear gutters on your commercial or residential property are not only important for curb appeal, but also essential for property upkeep strategies. Keeping your gutters clean is more important than lawn trimming or tree trimming because blocked gutters can cause major damage to your home, particularly your roof.
Your gutters can get blocked over time by leaves, branches, saplings, or other debris if they aren’t cleaned regularly. If your gutters get blocked, water may not flow freely through them. Your roof will become wetter and water will start to seep into your home. This can lead to extensive damage to your property and expensive repairs.
In addition to damaging your property clogged gutters can also be a breeding ground for bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes and insects. They use them to make hives and hunt other insect species.
A beehive could weigh down your gutters and cause damage to your roof. Apart from stinging bees can also cause structural damage to your property. This can lead to flooding in to your home which can damage many things, plus if the water accumulates in the basement or foundations this can cause serious mold and mildew problems.
Your gutters will also become a breeding ground for carpenter ants, rodents and termites when they are clogged with leaves and debris.
Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. Mosquitos are are attracted to the standing water as they like to breed in it. You should seek help from a professional gutter cleaner if you wish to eradicate these pests.
