Why Keep Your Gutters Clean?

It's inevitable that your gutters will collect debris over periods of time.

Leaves are the main culprit particularly in Autumn and during windy periods.

With the additional rain that comes during these seasons leaves and other debris will prevent your gutters from functioning properly and could leave you with an expensive bill further down the line.

Gutters need cleaning regularly because gutter systems allow rainwater to flow away from the roofline, along the side of the property and at your homes foundation.

You may have noticed moss or grass peeking out from the edge of your gutters, rotting leaves provide the mulch and fertiliser for grass and moss to flourish further blocking your gutters.

This is a very common problem and is a sign that its now extremely important to get the gutters cleaned out thoroughly.

Having gutters blocked like this can cause real problems to your home due to water leakage and damage caused over time.

Gutters are designed to direct the water away, but when clogged by moss, leaves and other debris rainwater can't drain away properly causing damp and mould problems inside the home.
