Why Do You Need Your Gutters Cleared?
A properly cleaned and maintained gutter is essential in preventing potential damage to structures and, sometimes, the interior of buildings. Gutters are fitted to functionally carry rainwater away from the roof and guide it safely away from the building. It may not be at the forefront of most property owner’s minds until long term damage appears. Clogged and blocked gutters can lead to expensive repairs, so regular maintenance is essential.
How Do Blocked Gutters Cause Property Damage?
Once gutters become clogged the rainwater cannot flow freely. When they remain blocked they will overflow and the resulting water damage can present a whole variety of issues. Long-term damage to your property, including the foundations, walls, fascia boards, windows and ceilings is very common. Internally these damages can result in the growth of mould spores and damp within the home.
What Causes Blocked Gutters?
Throughout the year, your gutters suffer from a build-up of various types of natural vegetation, including leaves, pine needles, moss, and grass. Birds also carry and drop seeds, leaves blown through the air by winds often fall onto roof tops, where they can then settle and collect inside of gutters and downpipes, thus building up and eventually causing blockages.
Damp vegetation within the gutter provides an ideal breeding ground for moss and weeds. They can grow aggressively and the weeds will block the flow of water through the gutter, eventually causing an overflow. Ensuring gutters are clear before the winter months prevents further damage caused by snow or ice.
How Do We Clear Your Gutters?
We have invested in professional equipment from Gutter Vacuum Systems so that we can safely inspect and clear your gutters. Work will be undertaken safely from the ground, with minimal to no disruption for you, the property owner.
Our high powered gutter vacuum system allows us to clear gutters that are otherwise inaccessible. We can safely reach over conservatories, extensions or garages from your standard size domestic property to four storey across domestic, commercial and some industrial clears too.
When Should I Have My Gutters Cleared?
When you can see visual signs of water running down the exterior of the building, or overflowing leaking guttering, this is a warning sign there’s a blockage somewhere.
We suggest a visit either after the autumn leaves have fallen or at the beginning of spring. Regular check-ups are the best way to avoid blockages, especially if your property is surrounded by overhanging trees or the roof is prone to moss. This should keep your gutters nice and clear all year round.
