In the grand scheme of home maintenance, it may be easy to overlook gutter cleaning. However, doing so could jeopardize the structural integrity of your entire house.

The team at Superior Pressure Washing has a no-fuss approach to gutter cleaning that ensures you never have to worry about clearing them out yourself. Here are a few reasons why you should not neglect your gutters.

Small creatures love a clogged gutter. When leaves or other debris build up, the blockage provides creatures like squirrels, rodents, birds, ants, and other small animals a place to nest and hide from predators.

These pests can be damaging as they can gnaw through the materials of your home or even spread disease if they come in contact with members of your home.

A blocked gutter with an excess of debris could also mean that your roof’s drainage system cannot do its job. If the pipe is clogged, water cannot flow as it should and can gather in unwanted places. If it begins to pool around your house, you risk the foundation and integrity of your home.

Foundation damage is dangerous and usually requires expensive repairs. It’s best to nip this in the bud by regularly cleaning your gutters.

Mold and mildew may begin to grow on your gutters. A gutter cleaning from Superior Pressure Washing can help eliminate this and reduce your chance of mold-related breathing risks and health hazards.

Overall, it’s important to note that gutter maintenance costs can begin to add up. The worse your gutters get, the more expensive it may be to clean them up or even repair them. The damage to other areas of the house can be even more costly.
