Gutter Cleaning
Three reasons to get your gutters cleaned with Busy B Powerwashing
Did you know leaving your gutters uncleaned for extended periods can lead to costly repairs? Gutters are a part of the home that is often overlooked. Since blockages can be unseen, many homeowners don’t think about their gutters until they have; weeds growing out of them, the gutters sag, or they witness lots of water pouring over the top of the Gutter. In this post, we are exploring three reasons why gutter maintenance should be a priority for your house.
- 1
Preventing damage to your home (why do you even have gutters?)
Your gutters are part of your home’s drainage system, they channel rainwater away from the roof and foundation, also preventing water from pooling around the base of the house. This can lead to soil erosion, foundation settling, and water infiltration in basements or crawl spaces. The water can also accumulate and add extra weight to the roof, especially the facia, and the anchors fastening the gutter. This can lead to sagging and potential leaks in the roofing materials, which can require costly repairs or replacement. - 2
Pests (we live in Virginia).
You honestly probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you how many times I put my hands into a gutter full of composted leaf debris only to find ants crawling all over my arms biting me. I have on a few occasions yellow jackets, the composted debris and still water leave the perfect habitat for all kinds of bugs including mosquitos. I can confidently say that I have never seen an infestation of creepy crawlies in the gutters of our customers who have their gutters cleaned out regularly. - 3
