Why You Need Your Gutters Cleaned In Winter
When it comes to those little jobs around the house, there are some you love and some you hate. We all have different chores we enjoy. While some people love ironing and avoid the vacuuming, others hate ironing and would rather clean the toilet.
These chores that we hate will often be put off for as long as possible, but that could result in serious problems.
Gutter Cleaning
Cleaning your gutters in winter is not a chore many homeowners enjoy. However, here at Pristine Gutters we love it.
The issue with gutter cleaning is that if you put it off you can end up causing damage to your gutters, your home and your garden.
The gutters surrounding your home help direct water and debris away from your roof and home. If the gutters aren’t cleaned and become blocked this can result in leaking roof, structural damage to your home and a flooded garden.
If you aren’t sure of the late time you had your gutters cleaned book a gutter cleaning service in with us now.
However, in this blog post we look at just two of the reasons you need your gutters cleaned in the winter months.
Why You Need Your Gutters Cleaned In Winter
• The Fall of Leaves
In the winter months leaves will have fallen and will be washed from your roof into your gutter or fallen from near by trees. The leaves can block the gutter causing it to overflow or worse block the underground soakaway causing an expensive repair. By cleaning the gutter in winter months you can have peace of mind knowing they’ve been professionally cleaned.
• Prevent Structural Damage
As we have mentioned in previous blog posts, and earlier in this blog post, clogged gutters will weaken the structure of your home. As leaves, twigs, branches and other debris fall into your gutter and are left, they will cause blockages in your gutter.
Heavy rainfall can turn this into mulch and move the blockage into your downpipes. This adds extra weight to your gutters, that pulls on the house. The blockages also stop water flowing freely.
This can result in water flowing over the side of the gutters, resulting in damp or mould in your home and destruction to your garden and flower beds.
If you want to avoid damage to your gutters and your home, then you need to get your gutters cleaned this winter. Call us now to book your gutter cleaning service in Peterborough or surrounding areas.
