Severe Problems Can Be Caused By Blocked Gutters
No matter where you live having blocked gutters can create a number of serious problems with your property. The gutters can overflow near your homes foundation, which can then attract destructive pests like subterranean termites. These conditions are also ideal for moisture loving pests such as earwigs, silverfish, centipedes, millipedes and cockroaches.
Your clogged gutters can also be a breeding ground for insects that transmit diseases such as the mosquito. For mosquito eggs to hatch, they need to have 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. Because they are difficult to detect, they will choose these areas as breeding grounds.
Clogged gutters are also loved by bees, wasps (hornets), and other stinging insects. They use them to build their hives and to be able to hunt other water-dwelling bugs. The beehive can cause gutter damage that can then allow wasps, bees and hornets to enter your home through your roof. Bees do not only sting, but they can also cause serious structural damage to your property. Eventually this damage can lead to a flood into your property that could damage many of your belongings and also result in mold and mildew growing if the water collects in the basement.
These pests can be removed by professional gutter cleaners.
Standing water is another issue caused by clogged gutters. One inch of rain is roughly 1,500 gallons of water.
Your home will be less susceptible to pest infestations by rodents and insects if your gutters are kept clean.
How Important Is It To Have Your Gutters Cleaned On A Regular Basis
Rain gutters protect your property against severe runoff and prevent damage of your roof and foundation. Not only is it important for curb-appeal but regular gutter cleaning is also essential in any property maintenance plan. It is even more important than trimming trees and maintaining your lawn as clogged gutters can lead to major damage to your property, particularly your roof.
If you don’t clean your gutters regularly, then they can become blocked by leaves, branches, saplings from trees, and other debris. These obstructions can stop the water flowing properly over time. If rainwater does not flow correctly through your gutters, it can cause damage to your gutters. Water will then be forced onto your roof, which can lead to water leaking into your home. This can cause irreparable damage and costly repairs. In winter, ice dams can be created by blocked gutters.
Regular gutter cleaning will help to prevent insects from nesting and the formation of ice dams in winter. By ensuring that the rain water drains away from your house, it can protect your foundation from water damage. This will also help you avoid ugly stains that rainwater can leave on the walls of your home.

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.
