THE BENEFITS OF
A PROFESSIONAL
GUTTER CLEANING
Gutters serve an important
role on a building,
catching rainwater
from the roof and channeling
it away from the structure.
Without properly functioning
gutters and downspouts, basements
can flood, foundations
may become cracked and soil
can erode. Gutters also help
maintain roof and siding longevity, ensuring that rainwater
will not pool under shingles or siding. Wet leaves also
create habitats for pests to live, notably for mosquitoes, termites,
rodents, and birds.
Homeowners can clean their own gutters, but the job is often
best left to professionals. Here are some of the reasons
to leave gutter cleaning to an expert.
• Pros have the equipment. As with any project, having
the right equipment means it will be done correctly. Handyman
services and professional gutter cleaners already have
the gear to reach gutters and tackle the mess, unlike some
homeowners who will have to purchase tools.
• Pros are trained in safety. Gutter cleaning professionals
are trained in proper safety procedures and have the right
equipment to safely scale homes. Gutter cleaning involves
climbing ladders, walking on roofs, and handling slippery
debris. It also may require working close to electrical and
cable wires entering the home. Homeowners who don’t
know how to navigate these conditions safely risk falls or
other injuries.
• Pros can spot other damage. Professionals may spot
damage to a home that homeowners do not see. This may
include cracked seams, loose fasteners, sagging sections,
and even roof damage. This allows homeowners to get a
jump on the problem early on before it progresses to something
more serious.
• Pros save homeowners time. One of the obvious perks to
letting a professional clean the gutters is that it saves homeowners
time. The expert can get the job done in less time
and more efficiently than a novice weekend warrior.
Mr. Handyman, a home improvement service, says the general
recommendation is to get the gutters cleaned at least
twice a year: once in the spring after trees have dropped
their seeds, and again in the fall after all leaves have fallen.
People with heavier amounts of natural debris may need
more frequent cleanings. A professional gutter service will
typically include inspection of the entire gutter system; removal
of all debris from gutters and downspouts; flushing
of gutters and downspouts to ensure water flows correctly;
assessment of water being directed away; and identification
of areas in need of repair.
