What Causes Blocked Gutters?

Throughout the year, gutters suffer from a build-up of various types of natural vegetation, including leaves, pine needles, moss, and grass.  Birds also carry and drop seeds, leaves blown through the air by winds often fall  onto roof tops, where they can then settle and collect inside of gutters and downpipes, thus building up and eventually causing blockages.

Moss really is a particular problem for blocking gutters. Properties in the shade of trees or those that are north facing naturally have less light and is the perfect breeding ground for moss as it flourishes in damp and shaded environments.

Damp vegetation within the gutter provides an ideal breeding ground for moss and weeds. They can grow aggressively and the weeds will block the flow of water through the gutter, eventually causing an overflow. Ensuring gutters are clear before the winter months prevents further damage caused by snow or ice.

​

How Do Blocked Gutters Cause Property Damage?

Once gutters become clogged the rainwater cannot flow freely. When they remain blocked they will overflow and the resulting water damage can present a whole variety of issues.

Long-term damage to your property, including foundations, walls, fascia boards, windows and ceilings is very common. Internally these damages can result in the growth of mould spores and dampness within the home.

 

When Should I Have My Gutters Cleared?

When you can see visual signs of water running down the exterior of the building, or overflowing leaking guttering, this is a warning sign there’s a blockage somewhere. We suggest a visit in the Autumn and Spring.

Regular check-ups are the best way to avoid blockages, especially if your property is surrounded by overhanging trees or the roof is prone to moss. This should keep your gutters nice and clear all year round.
