Gutter debris is a home’s worst, preventable enemy.
Gutter debris blocks the proper flow of water in the gutters to the downpipes.
Blocked gutters can cause rain water to pool in the gutters. Standing water mixed with vegetation can quickly rust and damage a gutter.
Blocked gutters can also leak. Leaking gutters can create moisture issues and moulds to the eaves. The moisture can also rot timber fascia boards and, in extreme cases, the moisture can find its way into your home causing expensive damage.
Be sure to book a pre-purchase building and pest inspection with Able Inspect to help identify any issues with your next home purchase.
