It is advisable to clean your gutters in autumn and spring for several reasons:

1. Removal of leaves and debris: During autumn, trees shed their leaves, leading to a build-up of dead leaves in the gutters. This accumulation can block the drainage system, causing water to flow improperly. In spring, gutters can also become clogged with debris such as flowers, seeds, dead insects, and more. Regularly cleaning the gutters during these seasons helps prevent these blockages.
2. Prevention of roof damage: Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow and seep under the roof tiles or shingles. This can result in leaks, structural damage to the roof, and even moisture issues in the house. Cleaning the gutters helps maintain the roof’s integrity.
3. Prevention of moisture problems: When water is unable to flow properly due to clogged gutters, it can gather around the house’s foundation, leading to moisture issues and potential water infiltration in the basement. Cleaning the gutters helps avert these problems.
4. Prevention of mould growth: Stagnant water in blocked gutters provides an environment suitable for the growth of mould and fungi. These microorganisms can be harmful to health and may necessitate additional repair work.
5. Increasing the lifespan of gutters: Regular gutter cleaning helps prevent corrosion and premature wear, thereby extending the lifespan of your gutter system.
