Gutter Cleaning
Gutter cleaning and maintenance is a critical yet often overlooked factor in preserving the value and appearance of your home. A well-maintained and properly functioning gutter system will carry rainwater away from the structure to a predetermined area in your yard. This helps to prevent rainwater from seeping through the siding, causing damage to your walls, and avoids oversaturation of the soil nearest your home.
Cleaning out the gutters on your house is a task many homeowners would rather put off, but there are several reasons it should be prioritized. Because it is a vital part of home maintenance, it’s a very worthwhile expense if you’re not able, or willing, to do it yourself.
Clogged gutters can result in costly problems including roof damage due to rot, cracks in the foundation due to the freezing of pooled water, warping of the gutter system and brackets due to overflow and excess weight. Another common problem is the allure of a clogged gutter to nesting wildlife–including mosquitoes! Overflowing gutters can also potentially drown any plants beneath them.
Preventing Damage to Your Home
Not only are clogged gutters unsightly, they pose maintenance issues for both your home and surrounding property. Aqua Painting’s gutter cleaning services help you maintain the beauty of your home’s exterior while preventing erosion and flooding problems that could arise over time.
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned
It is recommended that your gutters be cleaned at least twice a year−in the late spring and in the fall. The number and types of trees you have on your property and their proximity to your house may necessitate the need for more frequent cleanings. Some sure signs your gutters need cleaning include:
- staining or mildew growth;
- sagging gutters;
- plant growth inside your gutters.
Of course, if a gutter has pulled away from your house it’s a sure sign that not only does it need cleaning, but repairs are in order, too, so the gutter can effectively move rainwater away from your building. Aqua Painting has the experience to maintain your gutters correctly and efffectively.
