Gutter Cleaning Charlotte | Pests In Your Gutters Cause Damage

This content was written for Window Ninjas Window & Pressure Cleaning. When you think of the gutters at your home, you usually don't think about all the pests living there. Pests like rats, snakes, mice , insects, birds, and other animals will inhabit your dirty gutters if you do not get a gutter cleaning Charlotte service done at least twice a year. Charlotte gutter cleaning services are essential to ensure that your gutters are debris-free and work properly. Otherwise, they will be a great nesting and breeding place for unwanted pests. When cleaning your gutters, there's only one way to get it done: by hand with Window Ninjas! You can reach us at 704-727-2068 or on our fabulous website at windowninjas.com!

What Kind Of Pests Can Inhabit Your Gutters?

Our technicians know how to handle it if a situation arises that one of these animals or insects is in your gutters in the process of your gutter cleaning Charlotte service. Just think to yourself for a moment. How would you react if you reached your hand into your gutter to clean out some dirty gunky leaves and found a snake slithering through towards you? I would freak out and probably fall off the roof or ladder. And falling off a ladder could result in severe injuries and time and money spent in the hospital. When it comes to pests being in your gutters, I learned about them at a young age. When I was about six or seven years old, I was helping my brother clean out our home's gutters. He was up on the ladder removing all the time from the gutters, and I followed him around with our large outdoor trash can to catch everything he threw off. When we were about two-thirds of the way done, he tossed a handful into the trash can, and I heard a thump. I looked at my brother, who looked down at me, and then we both looked down into the trash can. To our surprise, a snake was slithering around, trying to figure out how to get out.

Cleaning Gutters Should Be Left To A Professional.

Unwanted pests are just one of the many reasons you should get a professional gutter cleaning Charlotte service done anytime your gutters require proper cleaning. There is no reason to put yourself in danger of falling off a ladder or grabbing a past that may injure you and cause you to go to the hospital or, in the worst cases, even cause death. My brother was fortunate in this instance as we later found out it was a rattlesnake and had it bit him, we would have been in the hospital. These pests can cause damage to your gutters, burrowing down and around and digging in them. They can scratch through your gutters into your roof and cause problems there, which can cause leakage. Roof problems can be very stressful for you as a homeowner, so getting your gutters cleaned out regularly with Window Ninjas is better to ensure this is okay. Getting your gutters cleaned regularly will also increase the lifespan of your gutters as dirty gutters accumulate debris and other particulates that can add unnecessary weight. The organic matter in a clogged gutter can also cause rusting and corrosion, Also causing more problems for you to the homeowner. As a result, this may cause the gutters to detach from the fascia boards and fall off.

How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?

When we say getting your gutters cleaned regularly, we mean at least twice a year, once in June or July and once in December or January. This timing is because, during this time of year, most of the debris has already fallen from the trees above for the season. It's also good to get your gutters cleaned out if you know there's a big storm coming, as the showers can push more debris into your gutters and cause a clog. Debris in your gutter can decompose and form an organic matter that will support the growth of tree seedlings, fungi, and other plants. This is one reason we used it as compost and what areas after we bag it up and take it from your property. When organic matter stays in your gutters, it allows seedlings and other plants to grow. The roots from these plants can grow up into your roof, under your shingles, and into your fascia boards, causing much damage. So give us a call today for all your gutter cleaning Charlotte needs! When the roots of these plants grow into your roof, shingles, and fascia boards, it will cause much damage, as I said before. When it grows into your roof, it can cause the shingles to move apart and open away for New leaks along with when it carries your shingles. If the roots grow into your facial boards, there's a high possibility that the fascia boards will begin to rot and fall off of your home, bringing the gutters down with them.
