REGULAR GUTTER CLEARING, IS IT THAT IMPORTANT ?
Yes it actually is. A properly cleaned and maintained gutter is essential in preventing potential damage to structures and, sometimes, the interior of buildings.
Gutters are fitted as standard to properties 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 mind until long term damage appears. Clogged and blocked gutters will overflow and the resulting damage can present a whole variety of issues which can lead to expensive repairs, so regular maintenance is essential.
Whichever gutter type the property has; plastic, cast iron, or steel, maintenance ensures they are clear of any debris and water is free flowing helping to reduce long-term damage.
WHAT CAUSES BLOCKED GUTTERS ?
Throughout the year, gutterings 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.
