Why regular gutter cleaning matters
A lot of people don’t realise just how important it is to keep on top of gutter cleaning. Leaves and debris build up over time, and it doesn’t just wash away like magic when it rains. Without intervention from gutter cleaning professionals, gutters can develop blockages full of leaves, twigs, bird nests, tennis balls, and we’ve even seen small trees take root and grow inside gutters over time.
When gutters are fully blocked, water can back up onto the roof and into the ceiling, causing all sorts of headaches and potential damage – not to mention overflow, leading to foundational damage. All that trapped water and muck can also lead to rust and rot, which can get pretty pricey to fix. Plus, the extra weight of trapped water and debris can pull the gutters down or even knock them loose.
Other gutter maintenance considerations
Aside from avoiding blockages, when gutter systems aren’t cleaned out and fitted with gutter protection, they can attract all sorts of other problems as well. Waterlogged gutters make the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, and built-up leaf litter invites critters like birds, rats, mice, and possums to build nests and cause havoc.
Leaf litter also offers the perfect damp, dark, warm space for mould, mildew, and fungi to grow which can do a real number on your home’s structural integrity and cause allergy flare-ups in residents and guests.
On top of this, a gutter full of dry leaves is a serious fire risk, especially in bushfire-prone areas. Just one stray ember could set leaf litter alight, potentially spreading fire to your house and yard.
