Why Dried Leaves Should be Removed from Gutters

Why dried leaves should be removed from gutters?

Dried leaves clogging gutters? Out of the hundreds of gutters we clean, trust us, these leaves will cause damage and irritate you! Just a week ago, a distressed customer called us asking when our earliest next appointment time was for gutter cleaning in Hampton East. To be more specific, she needed a lot of help with the clogged downpipes coming down from the roof of her house. Apparently, the last time she had her gutters cleaned was over a year ago. Yes, a year ago!

It was nobody’s fault as she had a lot of things on her plate like we all do, which is why her gutters suffered. Well, don’t we all? A lot of times gutters can be left unattended for too long. This is when dirt can pile up and sneak into your downpipes. If you ask why should leaves be removed from the gutters, it’s because they create a block and prevent water flow. The next thing you know, water is stuck in your gutters and since the majority of gutters are made from steel, the water will make them more vulnerable to rusting for all we know, as soon as corrosion happens in your gutters, holes will appear. This will cause more gutter problems. Yikes!

After hearing the customer out, our Client Care Team searched for the next availability for our gutter cleaners in Hampton East. This customer was super lucky as we had another customer in the same area who rescheduled her appointment with us. We squeezed her in right away! John, one of our local gutter experts in Hampton East, traveled to the customer’s residence to help clean her gutters, and of course, set the pipes free from clogging.
When at first he thought it was only due to dried leaves, it turned out it wasn’t. Isn’t life full of surprises?

It was a laborious job, but our local hero, John, indeed had seen worse. Besides the sneaky, dried foliage, there was a lot of mud in the pipes that had caused the complete prevention of water flow. Over time, gutters can catch a lot of dirt and debris when not cleaned in over a year.

John started the work by unclogging the downpipes before cleaning the gutters. It was as if you can already use it to cultivate plants. Time for a career change to horticulturalists, hey? Jokes aside, John removed all the piled dirt and the dried leaves in the gutters by using a powerful industrial vacuum cleaner.

A strong vacuum cleaner is crucial for such dirty gutters as hand cleaning isn’t possible. After removing the blockage, water started to flow freely again. It was a super bonus that there was no remarkable damage in the gutters despite them having a pool of water in them for quite a long time. Talk about being lucky!
This job in Hampton East took more than an hour, and John, being as efficient as he always is, completed the task with outstanding results. Seeing the before and after photos of the saved gutters was of huge relief.

She was very happy that we were able to resolve her gutter issues. She said she couldn’t thank John enough for his expertise. According to her, Mr. Gutter Cleaning was one of her heroes that day and she said one of the best decisions she made was to call our team for help. We were full of pride as we had another happy customer.
