Gutter Cleaning

Prevent collapse, water infiltration, deterioration of the roof

Cleaning gutters is a crucial chore that is too often neglected. Gutter cleaning is necessary to prevent your roof from rotting, your house from flooding and your property from eroding. It will also maximize the lifetime of your gutters.

Gutter cleaning consists of removing the leaves and dust that are obstructing your gutters and making sure that the water flows out of them properly. Depending on your location, cleaning gutters is recommended once or twice per year. Prevent accidents and contact professionals.

Gutters and down spouts drain water from your roof and clears it away from your home. A gutter without the proper maintenance can cause a lot of damage to your house :

Collapse :
the weight of accumulated debris in a gutter can cause it to collapse. A collapse gutter is a non functional gutter.

Water infiltration :
overflowing gutters can cause water infiltration from the roof. Water can easily infiltrate into the roof structures (sophite, faschia) and run down the interior walls all the way to the foundations of the house. This can seriously damage the structure of the house.

Appearance of stains :
cleaning your gutters at the right time helps to avoid the formation of black dirt spots. These spots appear with the mixture of rain water and debris within the gutter. These spots can be permanent if nor properly cleaned. Therefore, MRO Services inc. recommends an inspection and a regular cleaning of your gutters to protect against eventual damages.
