4 Reasons to Clean & Clear Your Gutters
1. Save Money
Taking care of your spouting means taking care of your valuable assets. Dealing with clogged and dirty spouting regularly will ensure you don’t end up with a huge repair bill down the line when the issue has escalated.
2. Protect Your Roofing System
Your rainwater dispersal system is an integral part of your roofing system. To offset the chances of a premature roof replacement, you must take good care of all the elements that keep your roof functioning to protect your home or business.
3. Prevent Moisture Ingress
Once your gutters become clogged, your structure will likely suffer moisture ingress. This could result from water pooling or organic matter rotting through your roof and allowing water to leak in. Rainwater might be diverted into your cladding, and it may flow down the side of your property and affect your foundations, decks, and driveways.
4. Prevent Mould & Mildew
Water stagnating inside your downpipes and gutters will allow all sorts of bacteria, mould and mildew to form, and when your gutters overflow, all of these nasties will flood down the side of your structure. If you have sustained leaks already, mould and mildew can quickly take hold inside your attic space and insulation – all the way down to your basement.
