What is a gutter cleaning service?
Everything you need to know
Gutters are an essential part of the house and need to be kept clean and clear from any debris. This prevents any flooding from taking place, minimise soil erosion around the property and any water related stains on patios etc.
As your gutters play a big part protecting your property, below we have given some insight into a gutter cleaning service and will be confident at the end of this article you will see the importance of gutter maintenance.

Why is it beneficial to have your gutters cleaned?
Increase the lifespan of your gutters
Clear gutters last longer than clogged gutters because unclean gutters can accumulate debris and any other materials that can add any unnecessary weight onto the gutters. As a result of this the gutters may fall off due to rusting and corrosion. Therefore, cleaning your gutters regularly will help them last longer
Prevents water damage
Gutters are there to channel water off the roof and away from the property and its foundations. However, a clogged gutter can stop water from going away from the property and can cause your foundations to flood and the roof to leak. This means if left unmanaged the stability of your property can be affected and reduce the value of the property. Therefore, cleaning your gutters helps maintain the structure of the building.
Stops nesting places for animals
Having your gutters cleaned will eliminate leaves, twigs and any other debris that can be used as nesting and breeding places for pests like rats, mice and insects etc that carry viruses.
How much should gutter cleaning cost?
There is no specific price for a gutter cleaning service as the price can differ depending on a few factors. These factors include the size of the house, difficulty of job, location and desired method all having a great effect on the price of the service.
How often should I get my gutters cleaned?
Unfortunately, this is one of those questions that depend on the specific location. Many properties can suffice with a yearly gutter cleaning. Some, without many nearby tall trees, can go longer, possibly two to four years between cleanings. Others, in more densely treed areas will require two to five cleaning services per year.
Aside from the gutters capacity to hold debris as mentioned above, there is still the corrosive, rusting, aspect of leaving gutters. Very full and overflowing gutters increase the risk of roof and window leaks. Unless your house has extenuating circumstances, we recommend a good starting point is a yearly cleaning service.
