What is gutter cleaning?
Gutter cleaning is when you remove the dirt, leaves and debris that collect and build up in your gutters. Debris is usually scooped out by hand or by using one of many gutter cleaning tools.
Why is gutter cleaning important?
Gutter cleaning is important because if you don’t clean your gutters, when it rains, the water can flow back inside your home and cause damage to your plasterboard, carpets and even the structural frame of your home.
Water damage can also lead to the growth of harmful mold.
Is gutter cleaning necessary?
Gutter cleaning is definitely necessary due to the damage that can be caused if they become blocked.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you do have storm damage from your roof or gutters and your gutters haven’t been cleaned, your insurance company mostly likely won’t cover you for the damages
When should you have your gutters cleaned?
Most people like to get their gutters cleaned just after Autumn so that the leaves have all fallen down. The thing is, if your gutters are full and you wait for the leaves to fall before you clean them, you run the risk of flood damage.
You should have your gutters cleaned when they fill up and not when they are completely full.
I’ve actually put together a guide if you want to work out the best time for you to get your gutters cleaned.
How often should you do gutter cleaning?
This really depends on where you live and the number of trees you have around your home but in most cases, you only need to get your gutters cleaned once every 12 months.
If you live around trees, or if you’re on tank water you will usually need to clean your gutters as often as every 6 months.
Some homes have it so bad that the gutters should be cleaned every month or every 3 months.
