The purpose of your gutter system is to redirect rainwater. When this system is obstructed with debris, rainwater can’t flow properly, leading to standing water on your roof or along your gutters. Gutter cleaning services help restore proper rainwater redirection by cleaning out the grime and gunk that can fill up your gutters. Below are three of the top signs that your home or commercial building needs a gutter cleaning service.
- Growth. Lots of different types of growth are possible in clogged gutters, including moss and plant growth. This isn’t a problem you can safely ignore. Plant and moss growth can damage your gutters to the point that they need to be repaired or even replaced, so make sure to have your gutters cleaned out at the first sign of something growing in them.
- Water around your building. When water isn’t redirected properly, it will often pool around the foundation of your building. Pooling water can erode soil and lead to worsening water-related damages to your property, so in order to help prevent this problem from getting worse and wreaking havoc on your building, you should hire a gutter cleaning service to ensure your gutters can redirect rainwater properly again.
- Increased pest activity. Insects, rodents, and other pests are naturally drawn to the debris that accumulates in your gutters. Pests around your gutters can soon move into your building as they look for more places to nest. Cleaning out your gutters when you notice increased pest activity around this part of your building can help deter these pests from turning your property into their home.
