Your gutter system has been designed to do one important task: to channel water away from the foundation. Blocked and damaged gutters will lead to costly damage to your home.
Your gutters perform a simple yet crucial role in protecting the structural integrity of your home. Blocked gutters filled with debris and leaf litter prevent rainwater from flowing to your downpipes and into the storm water or your water tank. This causes your gutters to fill with water and overflow. Water is destructive and the damage can be very expensive to repair.
Likely damage to your home can include: Without a route of escape, an overflow of water is likely to splash back on to your roof and may start to seep through your roof tiles. Left unnoticed, water penetrating into your roof is dangerous and can lead to the collapse of your ceiling. Water may pool around the perimeter of your home, which can impact the condition of your soil. External water pooling can lead to foundation damage and movement in your footings. Minor leaks in your gutters and down-pipes can cause water stains, rust, bubbling paintwork or timber rot. Behind the scenes, water leaks create dampness and mould. Left unattended, small leaks can lead to major water damage. This type of damage is complex and expensive to repair, but it is easy to prevent with a regular gutter clean. It’s important to be aware that damage like this caused by a neglected guttering system is not always covered by your home insurance. The cost of a routine gutter clean will seem insignificant compared to the repair work you may be left to fund from your own pocket.
You may think a minor leak from your gutters or down-pipes is nothing to be concerned about. It may not concern you because you only notice the leak or overflow during or after a downpour. Think again.
Excess moisture can lead to mould growth and bacterial growth within a short period of time. Your blocked gutters, roof and space under the house can create a dark, damp haven for this bacteria and mould to flourish. For those who suffer from respiratory problems or allergies, this can trigger illness.
Stagnant water attracts unwanted pests such as rodents, mosquitoes and cockroaches. Such pests thrive in damp environments. Their waste material is also a known trigger for respiratory complaints. If you have installed a water catchment system, decomposing matter will impact the quality of your tank water and may also pose a serious health risk.
