Why Clean Gutters Matter

Gutters play a critical role in directing rainwater away from your property, preventing water damage to your roof, walls, and foundation. When gutters become blocked with leaves, debris, or dirt, the water can overflow, leading to potential leaks, structural damage, or even flooding. For home and business owners, neglecting gutter maintenance can result in costly repairs and long-term property damage.

Regular gutter cleaning ensures that water flows freely through your drainage system, helping to protect your property from damage and avoid the risk of water-related issues like foundation weakening or mould growth. We understand the importance of clean gutters and offer reliable, professional services to keep your gutters in top condition.

Gutter Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions

How often should the gutters be cleaned on a house?

As a minimum, you should check your gutters twice a year - once after autumn and once after spring. If the weather is particularly bad throughout the year, you should check on them three or four times – just in case there's more debris than normal.

What happens if you don't clean gutter?

When you don't clean your gutters, the downspout can get clogged from leaves, debris, or any matter that can wind up there. This blockage then leaves standing water to collect and eventually overflow. Left unattended to, the leaves that clog up your gutter can begin to decompose and eventually rot.

What should gutter cleaning include?

Gutter cleaning is the process of removing any debris, dirt, and leaves from your gutters and downspouts that clog your gutter system and stop rainwater from flowing freely from the roof to the ground. Professionals may scoop the debris by hand or by machine.

Do gutter guards work?

The short answer is yes, gutter guards work. While they can't guarantee that you'll never have clogged gutters again, they can significantly reduce the number of times you need to clean your gutters and lower the risk of damage to your home and property due to clogged gutters and sitting water.

How hard is it to clean your own gutters?

It can be easy to put off cleaning gutters, but it's a necessary job that isn't difficult and will keep them working properly. Rain gutters get clogged with leaves and other debris over time, so it's best to clean them regularly to avoid more difficult work later. The good news is, it's not hard to clean gutters.
