The Purpose of Gutters
Gutters are used to direct water from your roof and away from your properties’ foundation.
Directing water is for the benefit of your roof, your brick and siding, your foundation, and your landscaping. Gutters are a benefit to your property from top to bottom. Improper rainwater drainage can lead to structural damage as well as leaks into the interior of your property.

1. Gutter Cleaning Removes Debris From Gutters
Gutters not only collect rainwater from your roof but also collect all kinds of debris too. Common debris found in gutters are leaves, twigs, moss, silt, loose cement pointing, broken roof tiles, bird excrement, fireworks and tennis balls etc…
2. Gutter Cleaning Extends The Life Of Your Guttering System
Simply put regular gutter cleaning will ensure your guttering lasts a lot longer.
3. Gutter Cleaning Prevents Blockages in Your Downpipes & Drains
Gutter cleaning helps to prevent drains blocking preventing water from escaping.
Whatever debris collects in your gutters, will get washed into your downpipes and drains. This equates to about 70% of blockages that occur. If you are unlucky enough to get a blockage in your downpipe or even worse your drain, rainwater will not be able to drain away from your property as intended and will find another way to escape. Water will always find the lowest point of the gutter before it cascades over, potentially creating a number of further problems such as penetrating damp.
4. Gutter Cleaning Prevents Leaking Gutter Joints and Damage
Gutter cleaning prevents joint leaks
You wouldn’t believe how much debris a single gutter can collect in one year, and you would be surprised just how much weight this adds to your guttering system. If regular gutter cleaning is not carried out, the weight of debris sprains joints (particularly on corner joints) snaps clips and pulls guttering away from the fascia board and in some cases, the added weight can even pull down your fascia boards.
5. Gutter Cleaning Can Save You Money
Gutter cleaning prevents water entering your home
Gutter cleaning prevents water from entering your home and causing damage which can lead to panic and expensive repairs.
In most cases, regular gutter cleaning is cheaper than continuous repairs and replacements. Replacing guttering consists of new materials, access equipment, tools and labour. this can be very expensive and in a lot of cases could have been avoided through simple gutter cleaning maintenance.
