Why Is Your Gutter System So Important

Most homeowners know everything about their houses, but there are underlying (but essential) systems that they may ignore. Homes would be very different without gutter systems. And quite ironically, gutters are one of the most forgotten structures of our properties.

Gutters protect our houses and buildings from rainwater. They collect and drain it away from our homes and their foundations, avoiding damage caused by moisture in any part of the house.

When gutters get obstructed, the roof and soil around the foundation get soaked in moisture, eventually finding their way into the house and becoming a real problem.

Then, the humidity will be absorbed by the basement, the concrete flooring, the crawl space, and, most importantly, the air inside the house. This air will condensate against your walls and ceilings, penetrating the surface and causing damage such as fungal wood rot and Penicillium mold growth, which aside from being a severe health hazard, are extremely expensive to repair.

That's why taking care of and cleaning your gutters is of utmost importance. Gutters tend to collect considerable amounts of dirt and debris. They are in a hard-to-reach location, which makes it difficult to clean.

In our years of experience as a trusted pressure washing company, we learned that there's only one thing worse than a dirty gutter: a poorly cleaned gutter system. 

Imagine expending lots of money on renting the pressure washer, buying the detergent, and risking your safety by stepping on a ladder to clean your gutters, just to discover that it ended up more clogged than before.

Sound like a total waste of time and money.

The best thing to do if you want to take care of your gutter system is to hire a professional pressure washing contractor to do the job. All you'll have to do is relax while the professionals clean with the precise technique needed for the job.

If you want to save time and money, stay away from the idea of pressure washing your gutters yourself. This attempt can end up in structural damage, and it could also be risky for you. 

As a homeowner, your top priorities are you and your home's wellbeing. You need a company that has those as a priority as well. At Matthew Wood Pressure Washing, we aim to deliver a job that exceeds our client's expectations every time.
