Cleaning Gutters & Downspouts
Gutter cleaning is often overlooked, but it’s crucial for diverting water from your roof and preventing costly water damage, mold, mildew, roof and ceiling leaks, and foundation issues.
Managing clean rain gutters, downspouts, and rooflines prevents water leaks and limits erosion caused by overflowing water in your landscaping. At Clean Coastal Living, our gutter cleaning professionals help your property avoid water damage from clogged gutters.
Why You Need Professional Gutter Cleaning
Gutter cleaning can be challenging and hazardous, especially for those with physical limitations. It involves climbing ladders and accessing roofs, which can be dangerous. The process is time-consuming and energy-intensive. Removing and disposing of the debris can also be unpleasant. Special equipment may be required for extremely high gutters.
Importance of Gutter Cleaning
Breeding of Insects
If you haven’t had any gutter cleaning done in a while, it’s very likely that you have debris accumulating inside your gutters. The debris also helps to trap water and creates an insect haven. This type of environment is a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes, wasps, and termites. All of which can find their way into your home.
Wood Rot
The fascia is a structural component of your roof, made of wood, that is attached to your gutters. When gutters are not cleaned annually, they tend to become clogged. A clogged gutter can have inches of water sitting in them, which will rot the wood of your roof’s fascia.
Flooding in Homes
Gutters are used to route the water from storms away from your home. When gutter cleaning is needed, the gutters overflow, and water is left to pour down the home’s siding and pool around the foundation. Homes with basements will often become flooded as a result of improper gutter maintenance.
Cracked Foundation
When gutter cleaning has not been done regularly, your gutters become full of leaves and debris. They will not drain properly. Therefore, when a rain shower comes along, the gutters will overflow, and the water will spill over the edge. This will allow too much water to soak into the ground surrounding your home’s foundation.
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?That depends on your surroundings and the type of gutter systems installed in your home. At the very least, gutters and downspout systems need to be cleaned every fall or winter to keep wet, fallen leaves from stopping them up.
Once every 6 months is standard for some homeowners, but if your property is surrounded by live oak trees or pine trees, then it could require cleaning every 3 to 4 months. The best way to tell is to examine your gutters. Do you see leaves, twigs, or dirt in them? If so, they are due for a cleaning. If they haven’t been cleaned in a long time and are starting to sprout, it’s definitely time.
