Why Is It Important to Clean Your Gutters? 

PREVENTION OF WATER DAMAGE:

Every time it rains, rainwater flows down your roof and goes down your gutters. However, if your gutters are filled with leaves and debris, they’ll not be able to direct the rainwater away from your property. This water will then pool against your home’s foundation and lead to water damage.

KEEP PESTS AWAY:

If you don’t clean your gutters, you’re simply creating a breeding environment for pests and insects without even knowing it. A gutter filled with decomposed leaves and twigs will attract pests and insects. This insect infestation will only make your family and pets vulnerable to diseases. Therefore, gutter cleaning is a great way to guarantee safety for your family and property.

IMPROVE THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR GUTTER SYSTEM:

Lack of proper gutter maintenance will cause damage to your gutters. This is because your gutters will be filled with a lot of leaves and debris that will eventually cause sagging. After some time, your gutters will begin to deteriorate, rust, and corrode. If gutter repairs are not done in time, your gutters will soon fall off your roof. On the other hand, regular gutter cleaning and maintenance will prevent these damages, and thus, your gutters will be able to last longer, saving you a lot of money in gutter repairs in the long run.

How Often Do You Need to Clean Your Gutters? 

After gutter installation, experts recommend that you clean your gutters at least twice a year. However, if your home is around many trees, you might need to clean your gutters more frequently than that. It’s also important to note that cleaning gutters can be quite a time-consuming and dangerous job.  Therefore, it’s best to hire professionals to clean your gutters for you. Based on your budget, these professionals can offer various levels of gutter cleaning services, including a basic gutter blowout, downspout flushing, and deep clean.

How Else Can You Keep Your Gutters Clean? 

Besides regular gutter cleaning, you can also rely on gutter guards to reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutter systems. Gutter guards are usually placed over the top of gutters for leaf protection while also allowing water to flow into the gutters.  However, even though gutter guards reduce the number of leaves and debris that enter your gutter systems, you should still ensure that you clean your gutters at least twice a year. Additionally, since gutter guards are part of your roofing, they still need some maintenance from time to time. This includes going up the roof to get rid of the leaves and debris covering them.
