What Happens When Gutters Aren’t Cleaned?

When gutters don't get cleaned they get clogged with leaves, twigs, dirt, shingle-grit and sludge, preventing water from flowing adequately. Gutter cleaning is an essential home maintenance chore in Davis County, UT. Rain gutters are designed to channel water away from your roof, down to the ground and away from the home's foundation. Frequent gutter cleaning and clearing should be undertaken to keep them working optimally. 

Clogging and blockages cause rainwater to overspill 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 issues. 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 a multitude of gutter-cleaning gadgets and tools on the market designed to making gutter cleaning simple. Unfortunately, most of these cleaning tools and equipment do a poor job and can cause damage to your guttering. The best method to clean 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 all blockages and clogs by flushing with water at high pressure or using a plumbers snake and other specialised tools. A pressure or power washer can also be used to clear downspouts and clean surface dirt and grime.

The condition of the guttering must be taken into account 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.
