A gutter, also known as an eavestrough, is an important but often overlooked aspect of a home’s routine maintenance. A clean gutter will direct water off of the roof and into the drainage system, which prevents water damage in your home’s foundation. Over time, it is natural for grime, natural matter, and water to build up in your house’s drainage system. Without regular cleaning, water can seep into the foundations of a house, leading to a costly and completely preventable basement repair. Considering IPC’s expertise in comprehensive gutter cleaning, your gutter will be in good hands with us!

Why Should I Use A Professional Gutter Cleaning Service?

Prevent Water Damage, Prolong The Lifespan of Your Home

Water is wonderful, but not when it’s in the foundational components of your house. A lack of regular gutter cleaning most often causes water to overflow from the eavestroughs and into your home. As water follows the path of least resistance, it could end up flowing into any number of places including your basement, walkways, and foundation. 

In the long term, even a small build-up of moisture can lead to problems such as mould and mildew growth. This can damage or crack the foundation of your house. This is known as water damage, which is potentially dangerous and is often costly, inconvenient, and invasive to repair. Neglected gutters increase the risk of your home flooding when there is rain or a storm. 

On the other hand, proper maintenance of your eavestrough prevents the severe damage that blocked gutters can cause. A regularly serviced gutter will also prolong the lifespan of various aspects of your home, including the roof, wooden facades, basement, and foundation. 

Keep Pests Away From Your House

Your home is a safe haven for you. But with clogged eavestrough, you may be inadvertently providing a safe haven for pests too. The wet, swampy environment of a clogged gutter is the perfect habitat for any number of critters. You could be providing a breeding ground for mosquitoes, wasps, and ants. In turn, these insects attract other pests such as birds, rodents, and larger animals. 

You should be able to relax in your home, but having these pests is more than just unsanitary, it can also be dangerous. Pests in gutters can cause structural damage, noise nuisance, and damage to your eavestroughs. 

Safety

A dangerous and physically trying task, gutter cleaning requires the use of ladders and other safety gear. If you try to clean your gutters yourself, you will find yourself hauling heavy equipment and clambering on the roof trying to reach difficult spots.
