Gutter Cleaning
At horand INDUSTRY, we clean gutters, removing leaves, moss and debris. Maintain your gutters with our gutter cleaning service now to avoid paying for expensive leakage repairs later.
Cleaning gutters is essential for several reasons:
-
Preventing Water Damage: Gutters are designed to direct water away from your home's foundation. If gutters are clogged with leaves, dirt, or debris, water can overflow and pool around the foundation, leading to water damage, basement flooding, or even structural issues.
-
Avoiding Roof Damage: Clogged gutters can cause water to accumulate on the roof, leading to rotting of the roof materials, leaks, or even roof collapse in extreme cases. Regular cleaning can prevent such damage and prolong the life of your roof.
-
Preventing Mold and Mildew: Stagnant water in clogged gutters creates a perfect environment for mold and mildew growth. These can spread to your home's exterior walls and even into the interior, leading to health issues and expensive remediation.
-
Preventing Pest Infestations: Clogged gutters provide a cozy habitat for pests like mosquitoes, rodents, birds, and insects. Keeping gutters clean reduces the risk of these pests nesting and breeding around your home.
-
Preserving Landscaping: Overflowing gutters can pour water onto your landscaping, causing soil erosion, plant damage, and even killing vegetation. Clean gutters ensure that rainwater is properly directed away from your landscaping.
-
Maintaining Curb Appeal: Clean gutters contribute to the overall appearance of your home. Clogged gutters filled with debris can make your home look neglected and detract from its curb appeal.
Regular gutter cleaning, typically recommended at least twice a year, helps prevent these issues and ensures that your home remains safe, structurally sound, and aesthetically pleasing.
Why Have Your Gutters Cleaned?
Did you know that damage caused to your home by blocked gutters may not be covered by your home insurance? During rainstorms overflowing guttering can cause water damage to both interior and exterior parts of your home. A leaky roof can even lead to structural damage, which is costly to repair.
Save your time, money and the items that are important to you by implementing a regular gutter cleaning schedule. Depending on the location of your home and it's proximity to trees you may choose to do this every 6 months, annually or every 2 years.
Protect Yourself
Gutter cleaning generally requires the use of a ladder or roof access. Falls from ladders can result in serious injuries, hospitalisations and death. The Victorian Government Better Health Channel states that in recent years the number of people hospitalised for injuries as a result of falls on and from ladders has more than doubled. Don't become a statistic, hire the professionals - horand INDUSTRY.
At horand INDUSTRY we take safety at heights seriously and ensure that safety measures are implemented to reduce the potential risks to the health and safety of our team.
