Gutter Cleaning – How Important is Gutter Maintenance


 

Do I need a professional to clean and maintain my gutter system

The simple answer is No.

If you feel you’re OK to climb a ladder and get your hands dirty then you’re good to go but i would recommend you do not try this work without a proper set of ladders with stabilisation to the top and bottom.

Other than that, a bin liner bag, a pair of protective gloves, a small hand brush to clean the inside and outside and a hose to rinse off is all you need to get the job done. Oh, I nearly forgot, and a tiny bit of elbow grease.

Alternatively you can hire a professional Gutter Cleaning company like BioWash to do the work for you, hassle free, quick and easy and out of your hair in a matter of hours.

Price Guide: For an average 3 bed Semi-Detached house;

  1. From €60.00 to Clean Inside Gutters
  2. From €110.00 to Clean Outside Gutters + Fascia, Soffit and Downpipes
  3. From €155.00 for 1. and 2. when bundled together


 

 

Fact; Your Gutter system will eventually cause major structural issues and heavy financial expense if it is not able to divert all the roof water away from your property, you must have a system in place to maintain your gutters on a regular basis to prevent this from happening.

What causes gutters to become blocked?

Your roof is your main line of defence from mother nature and everything she can throw at it.
It’s under constant bombardment from;
  • airborne dust and debris, especially during the dryer seasons
  • mosses and funghi in damper months
  • leaves and berries at the end of Autumn
  • Bird droppings etc

And all of this eventually makes its way down and away from your property, through your storm water system.

But due to the very small and slow gradient of most gutters, (ave.1:500) a fine nutritious silt layer accumulates after each and every rain shower, creating a perfect base for the growth of vegetation and grasses.

Without regular maintenance, this process will eventually lead to blocked gutters and as you’re now aware, blocked gutters will lead to more serious and costly repairs.

In the last 2 images to the right we see the typical standard aluminium guttering that’s so common here in Ireland.
Fixed with the use of aluminium nails along the top through the aluminium fascia and into the wooden fascia backing board.
The nails are ribbed and should never have failed as they have, under normal circumstances.

This particular section of guttering is at the back of garage and is simply a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind’.

The water that was blocked in the gutter has seeped along the nail and rotted the fascia backing board resulting in the inevitable gutter failure.

To put this right will involve the removal and replacement of the rotten fascia backing board and a completely new aluminium Gutter, Fascia and Soffit fitted.

An expense that could’ve and should’ve been avoided with the adoption of simple gutter maintenance schedule.

A clogged gutter will do the opposite, allowing water to flow down the side of your property towards your property’s foundations and over time would form small rivers and pooling that will erode the ground beneath, causing foundation cracks and settling leading to huge structural consequences.
