Gutter Cleaning Improves the Integrity of Your Home

Blocked or warped guttering is one of the worst culprits for causing property damage, drainage issues, leaks and costly repairs. We keep them clear of debris, mold, moss, and dirt, and install gutter guards to extend their life. We’ll inform you if we believe it’s time to replace them too.

Guttering serves to carry water from your roof quickly to the downpipes which drain it away, preventing accumulation and water damage. When these are blocked with leaves, twigs, moss or other debris, water accumulates, affecting the structural integrity of your roof and siding.

Here are some of the common culprits leading to blocked guttering and drains:

• • Leaves and Twigs
  • Moss Accumulation
  • Other Windblown Debris
  • Birds’ Nests / Guano
  • Ivy and other Climbing Plants
  • Accumulated Mud and Mold

While many of these may take months or even years to build up, some can accumulate in a season, or even within a particularly windy month. We recommend a seasonal pressure cleaning and blockage removal treatment to fully protect your home.

Another problem with blocked drains is that stagnant water can provide a breeding ground for mosquitos and other parasites. Mold build up can produce spores which are harmful to health and aggravate allergies.
