Gutter Cleaning Saves Money, Reduces the Potential for Damage

It’s unlikely that anyone really enjoys cleaning gutters, even when they know it is a necessary chore. When routine gutter maintenance isn’t taken care of, the potential for harm to a home increases, as plugged gutters typically cause roof leaks, destroy landscaping plantings, and often cause damage to home foundations. Gutter experts suggest homeowners contact a professional for advice on how and when Gutter Cleaning should be completed.

Should Homeowners Clean Their Own Gutters?
While homeowners may be capable of cleaning their own gutter systems, there are a couple of reasons to consider contacting a professional instead of tackling the job themselves. First, the World Health Organization reports that more than 164,000 emergency room visits occur every year as a result of falls from ladders. Professionals have the equipment and experience to deal with heights that most homeowners don’t have, suggesting they are less likely to be victims of falls while taking care of residential gutter cleaning. Homeowners are also not generally able to handle gutter repairs, but professionals are. They have the tools and supplies needed to easily take care of issues while dealing with the cleaning chores. Of course, professionals also understand downspout cleaning is an integral part of the service they provide.
The most important step is to ask for help. The gutter experts know the area and can quickly provide tips for minimizing the potential for gutter issues to develop. They will likely recommend gutter guards, for example, when a home’s yard has trees to keep the gutters from plugging. They will also recommend improvements to the gutters themselves if there are insufficient downspouts or the gutters are showing signs of damage.
All gutters need routine service to keep them functioning properly. That means cleaning at least once per year and providing repairs whenever they are needed. For more information, contact an expert today.
