How to Tell If Your Gutters Need Cleaning

01/01/1970

One of the major reasons why dampness and water damage occur is blocked gutters, especially since Paisley experiences large quantities of rain in the fall due to its large amount of trees. Some of the signs that you can look out for include: Water running off the edges of the gutters during rainy weather indicates clogging and not leakage. Plant growth in the line of the gutters signifies the presence of organic matter in them. Stains or marks on the exterior walls show that there has been water overflow for a considerable amount of time. Sagging parts indicate the effect of water and debris in the gutters on loosening the brackets. Water marks on interior walls along the lines of the roof are an advanced stage sign. Most houses in the Paisley area find that clearing the gutters twice a year is sufficient, once in late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, and once in spring. Houses situated near mature trees may require more frequent attention.
