When it comes to outdoor chores that need to be done on a regular basis, cleaning the gutters is either overlooked or just never gotten to. The gutters are one of those areas that are out of sight, out of mind. The problem comes when the water has nowhere to go because your gutters are full of leaves and other debris. Big Moose Pressure Cleaning has reasons why hiring a professional to clean your gutters and not skipping it is a great idea.
How Many People Die a Year from Cleaning Gutters?
One of the biggest benefits of having a professional hired to take care of the gutter cleaning on your home is that you can stay safe. The gutters are a series of metal canals that span the perimeter of the home and are usually set at the highest edge of the house. The height of the gutters are high enough that most people don’t have a ladder tall enough and that can be dangerous. If you are reaching too high or using a ladder improperly then you could be at risk of falling. According to the National Safety Council, falls are the number one cause of accidental death and injury at home. Thousands of people die from falls and ladder accidents every year. A professional have the tools and equipment to do the job without the risk of an accident happening.
Professional Gutter Cleaning Saves You Time
The best part about hiring a professional is that you are not going to have to clean the gutters yourself. The time that it takes a homeowner to clean the gutters with what an average homeowner has can be cut in half by hiring a professional. The homeowner can only clean a small area at a time then has to move the ladder further down and do the next section. They also use a garden hose and a small garden shovel that can take a lot of time to get the debris and dirt out. The professional can come out and take care of it while you can spend your time doing other more productive things around the house.
How Do You Clean Gutters Without Damaging Them?
The longer you leave the dirt and debris in the gutters the more damage can be done to the gutters themselves. The dirt and debris becomes heavy and once they are stuffed full it can start to separate the pieces of gutter and cause gaps to form. This will end up costing you more money to replace the damaged pieces and still having to pay for the gutter cleaning to remove the dirt and debris.
