Below are some of the most important reasons why it is essential to hire a professional scheduled maintenance team to clean those pesky gutters.
-
Insect infestation
If you keep your gutters untreated for a long time, it could be a breeding ground for insects. Gutters also form the perfect environment for algae, mold and other microorganisms because it receives moisture and warmth during summer.
-
Debris and dirt
Dirt and debris accumulate in gutters overtime and can become contaminated by flowers, seeds, leaves, pollen, animal droppings, birds, squirrels and other airborne particles. This could lead to clogging of the gutter which may damage the quality of the gutter and result in poor functionality.
-
Saggy ceilings, damp walls, and leaky roofs
When the gutters are clogged, the standing water finds other nooks and crevices to flow to. The water can leak into your ceiling, dampen the walls and also weaken the foundation. Gutter water seeps inside the wall and ceilings and gradually degrade the quality. This can cause the ceiling to collapse, damage the entire house and its contents.
-
Leaking gutters
Leaking gutters could lead to water overflow, cause unwanted damage and increase your repair expenses. So, before the gutter leaks, it is best to get it professionally cleaned.
