Gutter cleaning is often necessary for a variety of reasons. Sometimes you need to prevent a build-up, and other times you’ll notice problems around your home that indicate you haven’t been cleaning them often enough.
Regardless of the reason, it’s good to know when you need to have your gutters cleaned. That’s why we’ve created this handy guide so you can tell the signs.
Cleaning Gutters To Prevent Flooding
If you’ve noticed an unusual water build-up or flooding around your home, then blocked gutters could be the culprit. During heavy rain, especially in winter, more and more debris can find its way to your drainage systems. Your roof is designed to filter water to gutters, and this is a great way to protect your home’s interior. However, without regular cleaning, it can cause your gutters to become blocked.
These blockages often culminate in water spilling out anywhere it can, instead of being filtered into an efficient system like it usually would. This can result in puddles and flooding in areas that are typically clear and dry.
If your property is getting flooded in unusual places, then it may be a sign you need gutter cleaning.
