Benefits of Having Clean Gutters

Clogged Leafguard Gutter

Clogged Gutters can be the cause of many problems around the home.

Can be the Cause of Harmful Allergies:

"When the gutters and drains are clogged, moisture can accumulate in them. This causes harmful bacteria to grow and spread around the roof. This bacterium can easily seep into the home and cause health problems to the people inside. It is important that the gutters are cleaned to remove any clogs so the water can move freely and drain through the pipes."


Can cause mold, mildew and rotting wood:

"Clean gutters do not allow mold to grow. The moisture caused when the water does not drain can also cause mildew. Many times the wood rots in the roof and walls. All of this can cause expensive cleaning and repairs to the home. Many people confuse the green, black or gray colors on their home as a time to paint the home. Most cases this is mold, mildew or rotting wood. Proper measures should be taken to clean the gutters to prevent this type of growth and rot."

Can cause harm to plants in a garden:

"Gutters and drains fill with water and leak over the plants in a garden. Excess water to the plants cuts off oxygen from them and causes them to die. The excess water also causes diseases in plants such as Crown Rot, Root Rot and damping off. It is not easy to revive plants that have been overwatered. Cleaning the gutters keeps the excess water from harming them."


Can create an environment  for Termites:

"Termite infestation is a nightmare. They eat away at the wood and cause extensive damage, which can result in thousands of dollars in repairs. Most times the homeowners insurance will not cover termite damage. When the gutters are overfilled with water, the standing water can seep into the walls of a building. Termites thrive in areas with damp wood."

Can cause the growth of Mosquitoes: 

"Standing water makes mosquitoes grow in numbers. The stagnant water in unclean gutters is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. They can bite a person with yellow fever, encephalitis, malaria and dengue fever and transmit those diseases to another person. It is a good idea to clean the gutters by yourself or hire a professional to keep them clean."
