As we move from leaves falling in autumn, to the hope of rain throughout winter – trouble could be brewing right above you. To ensure stormwater can escape your roof effectively, we recommend keeping up-to-date with the maintenance and cleanliness of your gutters. Doing so will help many property owners avoid a damp and expensive disaster when the rain finally does arrive.
It would be nice to think that a deluge of rain would fully flush out your gutters – but in reality, it doesn’t, and once debris has built up, it doesn’t take much for a blockage to cause a concerning overflow and a myriad of problems. Think leaks and damage throughout your ceilings and walls – no thanks!
Eventually gutters and downpipes will corrode and need replacing, which can happen prematurely if they are not kept clean. The build-up of debris in a gutter retains moisture which accelerates the corrosion process. An annual clean can ensure you are getting the maximum life-span out of your gutters.
