Why Gutter Clearing Should Be Part of Your Regular Property Maintenance
Gutters often go unnoticed until something goes wrong. Gutters aren't something you probably think about often. That's because, if they're doing their job properly, they're unnoticed heroic home defenders. These stalwarts of property protection perform their duties in silence, whisking away the water and debris that would otherwise wreak havoc on your home.
Did you know that professional gutter clearing can extend your gutters' lifespan by a whopping 50%? That's like giving your home's first line of defence a superpower boost!
And it's not just about longevity – neglected gutters can become breeding grounds for mould and pests, turning your peaceful abode into a haven for unwanted visitors. Plus, a well-maintained gutter system adds to your property's kerb appeal. A bonus that's never unwelcome.
The Common Problems Caused by Clogged Gutters
Clogged gutters can lead to a host of problems for property owners. One of the most common issues is water damage. When gutters are blocked, water can overflow and seep into the property, causing dampness, mould growth, and structural damage. This can be particularly problematic for properties with wooden structures, as the dampness can lead to wood rot.
Another issue caused by clogged gutters is the potential for basement flooding. The purpose of gutters is to direct rainwater away from the foundation of the property. If the gutters are blocked, water can pool around the foundation, increasing the risk of basement flooding. This can result in costly repairs and can even compromise the structural integrity of the property.
Don't overlook damage to gutters themselves. Debris in gutters absorbs and holds water, as well as locking water itself in the guttering. This all adds more weight to the guttering than it's fesible to hold for long periods of time, resulting in sagging gutters that need to be replaced.
