PROFESSIONAL CLEANING OF CHANNELS

Gutter cleaning is one of those jobs that you either never thought of, or that you are trying to set aside. However, if you do not clean your gutters on a regular basis, you run the risk of causing serious damage not only to the roof structure, but to the whole house.

Gutter cleaning is important for a number of reasons. If you clean them regularly, it means: your gutters will have a much longer life (at least twice). The chances of garbage blocking downpipes and storm drains, etc., are much less likely.

What do blockages in gutters lead to? The precipitation removal system serves to redirect their surplus to stormwater. When the gutters are full, water accumulates in them, and then finds a way out in unplanned places. A careless attitude to cleaning gutters over time leads to serious problems that disrupt the operation of the entire system. The facades dampen, the foundation blurs. Storm water outflow through a channel clogged with garbage is difficult or not possible at all, due to this accumulated water drains in the wrong place. It falls on the walls of the building, erodes its foundation, destroys the blind area, penetrates into the premises. From here wet spots, dampness appear on the facade, a fungus forms. Even if the water did not have time to get on the walls of the building, it can seep through the roof covering. What problems arise due to a leaking roof is not worth explaining. The gutters overflowing with wet debris create an excessive load on the structure and its individual nodes, which significantly increases the likelihood of their breakage and even collapse. Damp foliage, saturated with rain or melt water, serves as a favorable environment for the growth of moss, lichen and the development of mold. Pathogenic bacteria, microorganisms and even insect pest larvae will multiply there. Dry leaves brought to the roof by the wind, blades of grass, feathers of birds in hot weather can cause a fire.

Gutter cleaning is important for a number of reasons. If you clean your gutters regularly, it means:

• Your gutters will have a much longer service life (at least twice)
• Much less likely that debris will block gutters and storm drains
• There is no environment in which mosquitoes, cockroaches, mice, spiders and other insects and parasites can breed
• In hot regions, clean gutters mean that less fuel will be around your home during the fire hazard season (which is protecting your home)

How often do you need to clean the gutters around your house depends on how many large trees that hang over your house grow. The main cause of blockage and pollution of gutters are falling leaves. If you have several trees hanging over your house, then the gutters most likely need to be cleaned about three or four times a year. If you have few trees or none at all, then once or twice a year is enough. However, it is recommended that the gutters be cleaned at least once a year – this is an absolute minimum. Of course, the best time of the year for this is right after the trees have dropped all the leaves.

If you timely check the condition of the roof and roofing systems, you can significantly extend the life of the roof itself and avoid expensive overhauls. Regular elimination of identified, insignificant at first glance, damage will help to avoid serious damage in the future. Often, in the construction of private housing, an external drainage system is used. In the fall, burning leaves and debris can clog the drain and obstruct the passage of water. The result of such obstacles is the wetting of the facade and, during the cooling period, the formation of icicles. To prevent this, seasonal roof maintenance is necessary, which consists mainly in cleaning the drainpipes from leaves and branches, cleaning the roof itself, thoroughly inspecting it, identifying defects and eliminating them immediately.

If in the autumn you spare money for minor repairs, then, as a result, major repairs will cost much more. Debris, sand and dirt narrow the pipe section, obstruct the drain and can lead to very undesirable consequences. If dirt and sand clog the part of the drainpipe that is inside the building, it will no longer work.

Our company is happy to take care of the smooth functioning of the drainage system. For this purpose, we will carry out a series of preventive works aimed at preventing the occurrence of clogging. If you do not want to do the work yourself, you can call us. It is very convenient, since we have all the necessary equipment to perform this work safely, efficiently and thoroughly.
