Blocked gutters cause more damage than most homeowners realise – here’s why regular cleaning should be part of your property maintenance routine.
When leaves and debris build up, water has nowhere to go. Instead of draining away from your home, it overflows – soaking fascia boards, running down exterior walls, and in the worst cases, finding its way into your roof cavity or foundations.
Blocked gutters are also a leading cause of pest problems, as standing water and debris create the perfect breeding ground for insects and provide nesting material for birds and rodents.
In Auckland, with its heavy autumn leaf-fall and frequent rain, we recommend having your gutters cleaned at least twice a year – more often if you’ve got overhanging trees.
Our property maintenance team handles gutter cleaning as part of a scheduled plan or as a one-off job, so you never have to get up on the roof yourself.
