Gutters….the neglected accessory of your house!

Your gutters, one of the most important parts of your roof, are also probably one of the most overlooked areas of home maintenance. It’s Autumn! The season that changes dull trees into spectacular art forms. Then, the leaves fall. Where do they end up? In your gutter, among other places. This is the season where leaves and other garden debris can build up quickly in your gutters, rendering them useless unless they are regularly cleared.

Will your insurance cover the damage if your roof leaks via your gutters into your roof cavity? Probably not! Keeping your gutters clear to allow water flow is your responsibility. It’s part of general home maintenance and is the responsibility of the home owner.

So, don’t get caught out, do yourself (and your home) a favour and get your gutters checked and cleaned. It’s cost effective and, in most cases, can be done quickly and efficiently.

How Often Should I Clean Out My Roof Gutters?

There is no one good answer, every house is different and every house is in a different area…..daves home maintenance, home repairs melbourne, gutter cleaning melbourne,

If your home has no trees around it chances are you may only require a gutter clean out once every 2-3 years to remove roof granule/dirt build up and debris from wind blown leaves.

If you have trees nearby or overhanging your roof you may need to clean them 2-4 times a year.  Leaves drop in autumn, seeds/acorns from trees can fall at different times of the year, wind storms/hail can blow leaves off of trees at anytime.  You need to be vigilant in maintaining your gutter cleaning, according to the environment you live in.

A good rule of thumb is, especially during storm season (September to February), a regular check of build up in your gutters is recommended.  Heavy rain or prolonged rain can very quickly turn your un-cleaned gutters into a major cause of internal water damage.
