Gutter Clearing

Service Description

Here are five key reasons to have your gutters cleaned regularly: 1. Prevent Water Damage Clogged gutters cannot direct rainwater away from your home, leading to water overflowing onto the roof, fascia, and siding. This excess moisture can cause rot, stains, and costly damage to your home's exterior and interior, including the foundation. 2. Protect Your Roof & Foundation When gutters are blocked, water can back up and freeze, especially in cold weather, creating ice dams that put immense weight on the roof, causing damage or leaks. Water pooling around the foundation due to poor drainage can lead to cracks and structural problems, which are very expensive to fix. 3. Avoid Pest Infestations Gutters filled with leaves, debris, and standing water create an ideal breeding ground for pests like mosquitoes, ants, rodents, and birds. Keeping gutters clean removes these breeding sites, preventing infestations and the associated health risks and property damage. 4. Preserve Landscaping Overflowing gutters can wash away soil, erode garden beds, and destroy plants. Proper drainage ensures rainwater is channelled away from your garden, protecting your landscaping and maintaining its health and appearance. 5. Extend Gutter Life & Safety A build up of heavy debris adds significant weight to your gutter system, potentially causing it to sag, pull away from the house, or detach completely. Regular cleaning also ensures proper water flow, prolonging the life of the gutters and preventing costly replacements.
