Fall Cleanup - Leaves in Gutter
Corners

It’s wonderful to see red, orange and yellow leaves falling from the trees during the Autum time. But it’s not so wonderful if they gather in your gutters.

Leaves, twigs, acorns and other organic debris can all clog gutters and cause water to run over the edges, either down your walls or straight to the ground. This overflowing water can leave damage to fascia boards, brick work and pointing and can also penetrate damp. In addition, your gutters might start to leak and sag due to the weight of the debris and trapped water being heavier than what gutters are designed for.

If water stays trapped in the gutters for a period of time, it may continuously be blown onto the fascia boards so they are constantly wetting and drying which is a real problem if you have wooden fascias. At the very worst, rot can penetrate your roof’s eves.

All these problems demonstrate why it’s important to keep your gutters clear. If you’re not keen on getting up a ladder yourself, and who would blame you, you can always ask a professional to carry out your gutter maintenance.

Here at Coast we may not be able to clear your gutters but we can provide you will an insurance policy that will keep your home safe from other problems that may arise. Call 0800 614 849 or apply for a quote online.
