Signs Your Gutters Need a Professional Cleaning (Watch Out!)
1. You see the presence of animals and/or pests.
You might notice the presence of birds as they gather nesting materials in your gutter system. They enjoy making nests out of the leaves and debris found in gutters; plus, they can keep their nests out of the wind that way. This is not a good sign. In fact, it means your gutters are in need of a professional maintenance job.
2. You notice that water is overflowing from your gutter system.
This can be a sign that your gutters are clogged, which can lead to major issues. Make sure you look out for overflowing water from your gutter system! If you notice it, it’s time for a cleaning! You don’t want to have to pay for a whole new gutter system; the average gutter system needs replacement every 20 years.
3. You see that your gutters are loose or sagging.
Loose or sagging gutters can mean that your gutter system is not functioning properly. Make sure to get regular cleaning and maintenance done on your gutter system to prevent permanent and expensive damage!
4. You notice stain marks on the siding of your house.
This indicates water damage, which is a result of your gutters not functioning right. Ensure that this problem hasn’t caused permanent damage by calling in the help of professionals today!
5. You see that weeds and/or plants are growing in your gutter system.
If weeds and/or plants are growing in your gutter system, this means that there is enough dirt for plants to grow! That’s not a good sign at all! Let’s go ahead and get rid of any plant life and get your gutters to work the way they should!
6. You notice waterfalls and/or icicles coming from your gutters.
This is not only a sign that you need to clean your gutters, but it is also dangerous! It can cause personal injury if the ice accumulates on the sidewalk!
7. You have not cleaned your gutters in a long time.
If you have a regular gutter system, you should at least get your gutters cleaned on a quarterly, perhaps bi-annual basis. Regular cleanings are needed to ensure your system continues to work right.
Calling for Help from Professional Gutter Cleaners
Cleaning your gutters yourself can be a challenging task. It’s physical labor that you probably don’t want to do; that’s why it’s good to call in the help of professionals. At Shine®, we have the skill and expertise needed to ensure the water flows away from your home or business rather than toward it. We know how gutter systems work and will get the job done right!
Since gutter cleaning and maintenance should be on your annual home maintenance checklist, watch for the above signs if you have not had your gutters cleaned in a while. It’s important to keep water away from your home or serious damage can occur, which can be overwhelming and costly.
It’s better to have regular maintenance like this done than to have expensive problems happen. How often you get your gutters cleaned will depend on whether you have a lot of trees and leaves, but living in the Oklahoma area guarantees dirt and debris will fly in there. We recommend getting them cleaned out twice a year – at a minimum.
