Gutter Cleaning

Gutter cleaning is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your home.

 

Benefits of Clean Gutters

• They prevent water damage:  Clogged gutters can cause rainwater to overflow, leading to damage to your roof, siding, and foundation.

• Clean gutters help prevent pest infestations:  Standing water in clogged gutters can attract mosquitoes, rodents, and other pests.

• Regular cleaning reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can result from trapped moisture.

• Landscape protection:  Overflowing gutters can erode soil and damage plants around your home.

 

While gutter cleaning primarily involves removing leaves, twigs, and debris, special cleaners may be used when there is mold, mildew, or staining inside the gutters.  Biodegradable solutions or specialized gutter detergents can help break down organic matter and leave the gutters cleaner for longer. For stubborn stains on the exterior of gutters, known as "tiger stripes," professional-grade cleaning solutions are often applied to restore their appearance.

 

Overall, regular gutter cleaning, with or without specialty cleaners, prevents costly repairs and maintains your home's value and curb appeal.
