What Happens If Gutters Aren't Cleaned?

Failure to clear your gutters can lead to a cascade of property troubles. Debris obstructs water movement, resulting in overflow and the possibility of water damage to your home's foundation, walls, and roof. Static water in clogged drains serves as a breeding place for pests such as mosquitoes and can also promote mildew growth. Over time, the weight of trash and water can cause gutters to droop or separate, reducing their efficacy. Excess water can also degrade landscaping and produce ugly stains on exterior surfaces. Ice dams can occur in colder climates, causing roof damage. All of these flaws can result in expensive restorations and compromised structural integrity. By prioritizing regular gutter cleaning, you may avoid these problems and extend the life of your gutters. 

How Do You Know If Your Gutters Need to Be Cleaned?

Identifying gutter deterioration needs both interior and outside observational skills. Internal water spots on walls or ceilings could indicate clogged gutters. Exterior red flags include flaking paint, erosion near the foundation, and standing water around the house. Sagging or disconnected guttering, rust, and apparent fractures are all signs of gutter problems. AP Gutter Guards' experienced personnel conducts a thorough examination during the cleaning process. We keep an eye out for these symptoms and immediately report any issues we discover. Regular gutter cleaning prevents such damage by allowing water to flow and discharge more freely. Preventive maintenance lowers the chance of structural problems, decreasing the need for costly restorations. 

Can insects be attracted to clogged downspouts?

Yes, clogged gutters can serve as a home for insects. By gathering stagnant water, clogged gutters provide an ideal breeding habitat for mosquitoes, flies, and other insects. Furthermore, decaying foliage and detritus provide food for a variety of parasites. Ants, termites, and even rodents seeking shelter and water are drawn to the high moisture content of the surroundings. These pests, in addition to posing health risks, can cause structural damage to your property and costly repairs. The best method to avoid these infestations is to clean your gutters on a regular basis.
