During the winter months the gutters around our home tend to fill up more. This includes heavy rainfall, as well as dirt, debris, leaves, twigs and more. These can become extremely problematic if they are not cleaned before the spring months arrive.

Gutters are designed to allow water to flow freely off the roof of the building and away from the home. However, when they are blocked with dirt and debris, they can no longer allow water to flow freely. In addition to the heavy rain turning the debris into the gutter into a thick mulch – the gutters are holding more weight than they are designed to do.

This can result in gutters cracking and breaking or leaking.

Structural damage to your home is also possible as the gutters pull away from the wall. Water will flow over the gutters and around your property too as it can’t flow along your gutters. This can result to flooding and damage in your garden, leaks in your home and additional structural damage.
