Superior Gutter Cleaning Wirral

Here’s 5 Reasons Why You Need to Have Your Gutters Cleaned Out

1. Damp. Rainwater overflowing from blocked gutters hits the ground below and splashes against the brickwork or render. If the rainwater continues to splash against the bricks or render, it can lead to causing damp in the property.

2. Flooded basement. Another problem caused by rainwater overflowing from a blocked gutter is finding its way into a basement and creating havoc if your home has one.

3. Gutter pulls away from your home. Blocked gutters can become extremely heavy because of the buildup of dirt, grass, and water. If the guttering isn’t cleared out, they can start to pull away from your home and come crashing down onto the floor below. Keeping your guttering clear of debris will help to avoid them falling away from your property.

4. Wood rot and damp in the attic. When guttering is full of debris, rainwater has nowhere to go. Inevitably, the rainwater will overflow at the front of the gutter and splash on the floor below. The rainwater can also overflow behind the guttering into the attic. As you can imagine, rainwater finding its way into the attic will eventually cause wood rot, damp, and mould in the roof space.

5. Damage to landscaping. Blocked gutters will cause rainwater to overflow and pool below the gutter. Flower beds are decimated, ponds can overflow, and pathways become flooded.
