When was the last time you had your gutters cleared out ?
These are few gutters from last week.
What damage can blocked gutters cause?
1. Damp walls
Water running down external walls can pe*****te cracks and contribute to damp patches and mould inside the house.
2. Damage to brickwork and mortar
Repeated wetting can cause staining and gradually deteriorate mortar joints, especially if water gets into cracks and freezes.
3. Rotting fascia boards
Overflowing water can soak timber behind the gutter, potentially causing rot and weakening the fixings.
4. Sagging or detached gutters
Heavy, waterlogged debris and standing water can put extra strain on gutter brackets and joints.
5. Water collecting around foundations
Overflowing gutters can deposit water beside the house, potentially contributing to dampness in lower walls or aggravating existing drainage problems.
