Gutter cleaning is an essential part of home maintenance that involves removing leaves, debris, and other materials that can clog gutters and downpipes. Clogged gutters and downpipes can cause water to accumulate, leading to damage to your home’s foundation, walls, and landscaping. Regular gutter cleaning can help prevent: 

– Water damage and leaks 

– Foundation problems 

– Pest infestations

– Fire hazards (in dry regions) 

– Erosion and landscaping damage 

It’s recommended to clean your gutters at least annually, once in spring and once in late autumn or more often if you have a lot of trees nearby. Remember, clean gutters are essential for maintaining your home’s integrity and avoiding costly repairs. If your property suffers any water damage due to lack of gutter cleaning maintenance your insurance company will most likely deny your claim unless you can prove otherwise.
