Every homeowner, every apartment owner and owner of other properties, knows that maintenance is an issue that should not be avoided. Ongoing maintenance to your property should always be provided for in your budget so that it always presents well that it is always a pleasure to come back to and a place where you can entertain your family and friends, and even colleagues from the office.

With ongoing good maintenance, your home will look inviting and maintain its value. The opposite is also true. Without good maintenance properties quickly fall into a state of disrepair and lose their value. Therefore the responsible homeowner will make sure that all aspects of maintenance receive their due attention. This is true for your home or the apartment you live in, whether you find yourself in Sydney, Australia or Bournemouth, Dorset, England. The same applies to the commercial or industrial properties you own as well: you cannot neglect maintenance as it often causes severe problems down the line.

Property maintenance involves various issues, right from making sure the roof does not leak, or that all roof tiles are in ...
... place, it involves having to paint the property at regular intervals, it also means having to ensure wood windows are in great condition – and that your gutters are perfect and in good condition.

Clean gutters can help prevent future frustrations and problems. Dirty gutters, those where leaves, small objects and another debris collect over time may well lead to problems that could have been avoided in the first place, had the owner only had a maintenance plan, which includes gutter cleaning, in place.

In countries with harsh, and at times truly unpleasant, winter weather, such as Canada, the central and northern parts of America and certainly the UK, it is a given that dirty gutters will cause problems and cost you (unnecessary) money. When it rains a lot, water needs a proper conduit through which to be led away – through the gutters, down the downpipes and away to, for example, the street – or other areas away from your property.

The same applies to snowy conditions. The moment the snow melts, you want it to be transported away from the property. When the wind blows constantly, leaves gather in the gutters and will cause blockages so that water flow is hampered. This means that the leaves prevent the rainwater and the melting snow to find their way out and down the pipes. This could have some serious consequences for the homeowner or owner of a commercial or industrial property.

Water that collects in the gutters may cause these gutters to start sagging, with spillage over the sides a possibility. This means you may have to accept that water directly onto your house or other buildings could lead to other problems; the gutters were put up specifically for this reason – to avoid a situation where rain and water can cause damage to your house. Even the best-built properties have hairline cracks or other cracks through which water can enter your house and cause dripping onto floors and furniture. Even if the problem is addressed before this happens, you may have to accept that dampness and mould could become serious problems.

Therefore your gutters are your first line of defence as it were to ensure that your home stays water and damp-free. More than that: heavy with clogged water and other objects, there is always a good chance that your gutters may develop cracks, or they may come apart at the joints – they may break and fall, causing more damage as they scrape the walls or windows, for example, on their way down.

All of the above shows that gutter maintenance should be taken seriously as it can help prevent problems later on.
