What Happens When Gutters Aren’t Cleaned?

Gutter cleaning is an essential home maintenance task in Jackson County, MO. Gutters are designed to channel water away from your roof, down to the ground, and away from the building’s foundation. Frequent gutter cleaning and clearing should be carried out to keep them functioning optimally. When gutters aren’t cleaned, they get clogged up with leaves, twigs, dirt, shingle grit, and sludge, preventing water from flowing adequately.

Clogging and blockages cause rainwater to overflow the guttering, increasing the risk of water damage to the roof, fascia boards, foundation, siding, and basement. Water can also back up, causing roof leaks and ceiling leakage, leading to mold and mildew growth with associated health risks. Seamless aluminum gutters fitted with gutter guards or screens are the best solution for a low-maintenance gutter option requiring less frequent cleaning.

Best Method To Clean Gutters

There are many gutter-cleaning gadgets and tools on the market aimed at making gutter cleaning easy. Unfortunately, most of these cleaning tools and equipment do a poor job and can cause damage to your gutter system. The best method for cleaning gutters is to hand clear the leaves, muck and debris from the roof and gutters using a gutter scoop, brush and leaf blower. Downspouts are cleared of any blockages and clogs by flushing with water at high pressure or using a plumber snake and other specialised tools. A power or pressure washer can also be used to clear downspouts and clean surface dirt and grime.

The condition of the gutters must be considered before deciding on the correct gutter cleaning method or process. While cleaning your guttering our technician will inspect the gutter system for signs of damage such as holes, cracks, sagging, rust, corrosion, loose brackets and detachment from the fascia boards. Any necessary repairs will be reported.

What are the Important Processes For Effective Gutter Cleaning?
