The Real Cost of Ignoring Gutter Cleaning
Blocked gutters might seem like a minor issue; until they’re not.
Ignoring them can lead to expensive, messy, and entirely avoidable damage to your home or business.
What Happens When Gutters Are Blocked?
Gutters are designed to channel rainwater away from your building. When they’re full of leaves, muck, and debris, water overflows and:
•Soaks into your roofline and soffits; leading to rot, mould, and sagging ceilings.
•Pours down walls; causing exterior damage and internal water ingress.
•Floods foundations or driveways; weakening structures and inviting costly repair bills.
•Attracts pests; like mosquitoes, rats, and birds looking for a nesting spot.
The Cost of Inaction
We’ve seen first-hand what happens when regular maintenance is skipped:
•Roof and spouting repairs: $1,500–$8,000
•Internal ceiling damage from overflow: $2,000+
•Foundation and driveway remediation: $5,000+
•Insurance excess and increased premiums: Ongoing pain
And it could all start with something as simple as a $250+ seasonal gutter clean.
How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?
We recommend checking and cleaning your gutters:
•Every 6 months (especially after autumn and spring),
•Quarterly, if you have trees near your roofline or are in a high rainfall zone.
