The gutter system is an essential exterior component of every building. Gutter cleaning is one of the tasks that most homeowners find irritating. However, efforts to clear accumulated leaves and dirt cannot be avoided when the gutters or downspouts attached to them become so blocked that water cannot flow freely.

Why turn to professionals?
Maintaining a clean drainage system requires working at a height of around five meters, even in private residences. The dangers increase significantly for high-rise structures. It is therefore more prudent to consult experts. Professional workers have to obtain certification and training before being allowed to operate at heights.
The main advantage of professional cleaning is the quality of work, which is ensured by:
– the use of modern equipment and tools;
– the decent training;
– the ability to hover at the desired point to remove blockages.
Causes of clogged gutters
Here are the most common causes of clogged gutters and pipes:
– fallen leaves, small branches, and flowers of trees growing nearby;
– accumulated mud from sand and dust brought by the wind;
– ice and snow in the cold season.
When and how often should you clean your gutters?
Regular maintenance is performed in early spring and mid-autumn. To allow melt water from the roof to freely flow down the drain, the gutters are cleared of ice, snow, and other collected debris and filth after winter but before melting. To clear ice jams that obstruct proper water drainage, drainpipes are also cleaned.
Mid-autumn and leaf fall are the peak time for blockages when cleaning can be done several times.
However, roof gutters should be cleaned as needed, and the system has to be continuously observed. Pieces of ice, sand, branches, and other debris that have collected in layers of snow may enter the system in the early spring along with meltwater; these items need to be removed. It can also be essential to remove the blossoms from the drainage system in late spring. Trees lose their leaves in the summer, when there is dryness and intense heat, and the leaves fall into the drain.
The weight of clogged drainpipes grows dramatically, increasing the strain on the fastenings of the structure. A minor accumulation of leaves, pine needles, or other debris might harm your drain.
The formation and rapid spread of moss and plants along the drainpipe due to a blockage can make it more difficult for the drainage system to operate and get cleaned.
