Clearing the insides of gutters may not rank high for home maintenance for some, but regular upkeep is essential. Gutters are designed to allow the rainfall to drain away from the roof and be guided away from the building preventing potential damage to the interior and the structure. When the gutters are allowed to clog with debris, they can result in expensive repairs to the homeowner and that is why this type of maintenance is essential. Drain Unblocking Brightlingsea

How do those gutters get blocked?

All sorts of natural vegetation including leaves, moss, grass, and other debris builds up every year. The wind blows the leaves onto roofs which fall and collect inside of the gutters. When wet these leaves can stick to the inside of the gutters, thus creating blockages in corners and down pipes.

This periodically becomes the perfect breeding ground for wind blown or bird dropped seeds. Moss and weeds begin to grow and when left they can take hold of your gutters and block the natural flow of water in the guttering system causing an overflow. Drain Unblocking Bury St Edmunds

This is why it is vital to keep your gutters in a good clear state ahead of the winter months to avoid any damage caused by snow or ice. It is critical that gutters are in good health for the winter to ensure water is free flowing to prevent damage by snow and ice build-up.
