🎵 Everyday I'm guttering 🎵
One of our regular jobs is to empty and clean gutters and fascias! These jobs are one of the most satisfying!
Below are some of the many benefits of gutter cleaning!
1. Reduces Pests
Clogged gutters tend to attract nesting birds, rodents, and a lot of bugs, all of which can carry germs and disease. By removing leaves and debris, it discourages birds and pests making your gutters home.
2. Stops Overflow
When gutters are clogged, they quickly overflow during heavy rainfall. This can cause unnecessary damage to your landscaping, garden, and can cause damp on exterior walls if it goes unfixed. Having your gutters cleaned regularly will stop this overflow, saving you money on expensive repairs to your garden or exterior walls.
3. Extends Your Roof’s Lifespan
Gutter cleaning is a vital part of roof maintenance that will help extend its life. Clogged gutters trap moisture, ice, dirt, and debris, making them heavy and causing them to sag. This will eventually compromise the integrity of the roof they are attached to. When left long enough, this can cause cracks and leaks in the roof, which can be costly to repair.
4. Boost Kerb Appeal
Dirty, clogged gutters look awful and are a sure-fire way to make your house look unloved. Whether you’re planning to sell your house or not, having sparkling clean gutters boosts your kerb appeal and makes your house look its best. If you are selling your home, clean gutters give a great first impression to buyers and can help boost your chances of an offer.
5. Stop Water Damage
When gutters overflow and exterior walls become damp, it can quickly lead to water damage inside the house. The water can quickly soak into the foundations or through exterior walls and create unsightly damp patches. This not only looks bad but can be extremely bad for your family’s health, so it’s important to keep your gutters in tip-top shape to prevent this from happening in the first place.
