Why you should have your gutters professionally cleaned.

Your gutters are one of the many items that can easily be forgotten about. When they are performing as designed they are one of the many conveniences we have that are simply out of sight, out of mind. While we are cleaning other areas of your property we will gladly take a look and recommend if it is time to have them cleaned. There are many reasons to have them regularly inspected and cleaned. The biggest reasons to have your gutters cleaned are: to remove a potential blockage, prevent trees or plants from growing in them and for visual appeal.

Build up in a gutter can potentially create a blockage in it. When a gutter is blocked it is not performing its intended job of transferring water away from a home or business. This standing water could lead to potential issues happening to the foundation, landscaping or other areas. Debris and buidup should professionally cleaned to ensure your gutters are working properly.

As crazy as it sounds, when debris starts to build up and break down, it can turn into soil. This soil is a prime location for a tree or other plant to sprout and grow. Since the gutter is not draining properly there is plenty of water and sun for the plant to flourish. A simple online search for trees in gutters pulls up a lot of results. We have seen it ourselves and try to preemptively prevent this from happening.

The third reason we feel you should have your gutters regularly cleaned is for visual appeal. People mow their yard, keep the exterior looking good, but sometimes do not think about the gutters on their property. Gutters that overflow can eventually show debris hanging over the edge and leave debris on the sides of them. Have your gutters cleaned regularly to prevent this eyesore from your residence.
