Why Gutter Cleaning Is Important

Storm season and rainy days, these are just some of the typical weather for such a tropical place like Queensland, Australia. Of course we never really look forward to it since it’s usually sunny for most of the year. But no matter where you are in the world, knowing why Gutter Cleaning is important can save you from the disastrous affects caused by blocked gutters.

What does Gutter Cleaning involve? Gutter Cleaning Services involves the removal of organic debris such as sticks, leaves, branches, etc. Most of this debris can build up especially during winter, making it harder for your home’s drainage to do its job. Sometimes, they may even be growing when plants end up rooting in your stormwater drainage systems. Once your gutters are too blocked up, the water overflows and it can create increasing damage to your home. Unknowingly, the damage can also welcome pests to your home, which are not very pleasant and would likely want to be removed as soon as possible! 

Why Should You Get It Done?

Many may feel that Gutter Cleaning shouldn’t be on the top of their list when it comes to household chores. Some of us may even just forget about having to do it all together. However, regularly cleaning them can save your home from numerous problems caused by severe water damage. For example:

• Flooding & Overflowing – Whether the weather is good or the weather is bad, don’t let storms and rainy days surprise you or your gutters! This is one of the most common reasons people decide to call us!

• Mold – Known by many as The Silent Killer, Mold can have bad consequences for you and your family’s health if not prevented.

• Smells – We all want our home to smell clean, but this involves all aspects of maintenance to prevent the damp smells from seeping into your home.

By now I am sure you would agree, that gutters are an important part of your house maintenance schedule. But it is important to remember that if not taken care of and cleaned properly, it can lead to bad consequences for your home. 

It might also be important to note that Gutter Cleaning prevents further household issues, such as:

• Pest infestation and invasions
• Blockages to your water drainage system
• Debris and Plants growing in your roof 

What Does Gutter Cleaning Involve?

Here at Gutter Get It clean, we tailor our method of cleaning to each property because every home’s roof and gutter system is different. Our service generally involves scooping out and bagging debris from your gutters. 

After a majority of the large debris is removed, we use our commercial back pack leaf blowers and start blowing the leftover debris out of your gutters to create a clear path for flowing water. We also clear downpipes and gutter traps, which filter any debris or leaves that have been carried by the flowing water to pipes along the side of your home. 

Once the gutters have been cleared out, we then start washing your cleared out gutters to give it that deep clean. Additionally, we even check your downpipes to see if it needs a little rinse as well. 

While on the roof, we take careful note of any tiles that may be damaged, then apply silicon to any cracked roof tiles that we find.

Last but not least, we include a total outside clean up after our service so your home is left cleaner than when we arrived.

Finally after completing the service, we take some snazzy before and after photos then send them to you once the job is done! Because nothing is more satisfying than seeing the improvement of your home.
