Curb Appeal Power Clean provides various pressure washing services in California. Gutter cleaning in Los Angeles is particularly important, as a property without adequate rain gutters risks water damage to the siding and foundation. For the gutters to do their job well, they need regular cleaning and maintenance from a reliable gutter cleaning contractor.
What are the signs of a gutter clog? Curb Appeal Power Clean’s experts describe clogged gutter signs below so that Los Angeles property owners know when to schedule a cleaning.
Water Spilling Over the Edges
Is there water spilling over the edges or sides of the gutter system? Clogged gutters prevent water from flowing through the system as intended. When it rains, water that builds up in the gutters may spill over the edges because of accumulated leaves, dirt, and other debris.
Sagging
Gutters sagging or pulling away from a property’s roof or walls could be the result of a clog. Gutters sag because of the weight of built-up debris and water. Blocked gutters that pull away from the roof may also lead to structural roof issues.
Any property owner noticing a sagging gutter system should act fast to avoid further damage. The experts might also suggest investing in gutter guards to reduce the accumulation of detritus.
Pests and Birds Living in The Gutters
Birds, animals, or insects making homes in the gutters indicate a blockage. These uninvited guests find the clogged gutters conducive to building a nest, especially with convenient pooling water from the gutter blockage. If there are signs of an infestation, don’t wait to schedule professional gutter cleaning.
Most gutter cleaning services charge per linear foot for their services.
Organic Growth in The Gutters
Plants, mold, and moss love damp conditions, so a clogged gutter is ideal. Left to their own devices, plants, and mold will find their way into the affected property. So, it’s best not to wait to call the local gutter cleaning service to clean out the gutters and eliminate these potential health risks.
Unusual Noises
Are there gurgling, banging, or dripping sounds? These noises may indicate a potential gutter clog as water tries to drain through a blockage somewhere in the gutter system.
A Leaking Roof
Unfortunately, a severely clogged gutter system may eventually lead to a roof leak. Ignoring the signs at this point will mean the property owner has to grapple with a costly roof repair or replacement, so immediate cleaning is essential.
