Blocked Gutters Can Cause Severe Problems

No matter where you are, blocked rain gutters can cause serious damage to your property Blocked gutters can cause an overflow near to your foundation which can then attract destructive insects, such as subterranean termites. In these conditions, moisture pests like silverfish, earwigs , cockroaches, centipedes, and millipedes can thrive.

Clogged gutters can also be a breeding place for mosquitoes and other insects that are carriers of diseases like malaria. For mosquito eggs to develop and mature they need standing water. You must act quickly if you notice a mosquito infestation, otherwise, it could very quickly escalate into a major problem.

Rodents and other insects will also find clogged gutters a good place to live. If they can reach your gutters from nearby branches, squirrels and rats are able to build nests in them also. Clogged gutters provide the squirrels and rats with a safe place to live during winter. These areas are safe for them to breed as they can’t easily be detected by people.

Clogged gutters are also a favorite place for bees, wasps and hornets as well as other stinging insects. They use them for their hives, and to hunt other water-dwelling insects. The beehive can cause gutter damage that can then allow wasps, bees and hornets to enter your home through your roof. Not only can bees sting, but they also can cause severe structural damage to your property. This could lead to flooding in your home, which could cause a lot of damage to your belongings and result in mold and mildew growing.

Professional gutter cleaners are recommended to remove these pests.

Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. One inch of rain is roughly 1,500 gallons of water.

Keeping your gutters clear will reduce the likelihood of pests and rodents entering your home.

Regularly Cleaning Your Gutters Is Vital

Rain gutters protect your property against severe runoff and prevent damage of your roof and foundation. This is not only important for curb appeal, but also an essential part of any property upkeep plan. It is far more important that tree trimming and lawn maintenance as blocked gutters can damage your property, especially your roof.

If not cleaned regularly, your gutters may become blocked with leaves and branches, as well as tree saplings or other debris which will block the flow of water to the drains When rainwater doesn’t flow smoothly through your gutters and into your drains, your gutters can get damaged. If this happens, water will push onto your roof and eventually seep down to your foundation. This can cause severe damage and costly repairs. In winter, ice dams can be created by blocked gutters.

Regular gutter cleaning is a good way to prevent insects from nesting and ice dams from forming in winter. It will protect your foundation against water damage by making sure that rain water goes down the drain, and not into your home. This will also help you avoid ugly stains that rainwater can leave on the walls of your home.

Are gutter guards worth it?

Gutter guards can do a very good job of keeping gutters flowing freely. If you have big trees in your yard, gutter guards really will save you time and nasty work by helping to prevent your gutters from getting clogged. I'm a fan of properly installed, high-quality gutter guards.

How long does it take to clean gutters?

Should you walk on roof to clean gutters?

We do not recommend that customers walk on metal, ceramic tile, or cedar shake roofs, as these require special knowledge (and tools) to move in a safe manner. From a standing position on the roof, walk along the gutter with a blower and blow the debris out onto your driveway or lawn. We prefer to use a backpack blower.
