What Could Happen If You Don’t Clean Your Gutters

By Wise Roofing, Reading

Cleaning the gutters is a necessary job, due to the potential damage to the home that could occur, if nothing is done to clear it. During the cold and wet months, gutters will often have built up moss and leaves.

The main job of a gutter is to help water to drain away. If they are clear, then they will defend the home and roof against any damage from water. The garden can also be affected, due to any heavy rain water from storms. Any flowers or soil can be washed away, ruining any work. Storm water can also create discolouring on decking, damaging it.

The structure of a house is important, and if a gutter is blocked it can affect it badly. If the water within the structure freezes, it can make cracks when it has expanded. This can cause the foundation under the building to wear down.

If your house has a basement, and you get any water coming through, then eventually a musty smell and mildew will appear. Too much water can make a flood, creating a potentially expensive repair job. So make sure you get your gutters cleared regularly, to prevent these potential hazards, call Wise roofing for all roofline services in Tadley.
