Gutter Cleaning Prevents Water Damage to Ceilings

The most telling sign that your gutters are blocked, beyond water simply overflowing from your gutters, during periods of rainfall, is water damage to your ceilings.

The picture above is from a garage ceiling, where the gutters that sit directly adjacent to this, where totally blocked with silt, leaves and growing weeds.

This ceiling damage occurred, over a period of just 2 weeks, as once the gutters are blocked further rainfall simply finds an alternative route to leave your roof, with the aid of gravity.

If you spot damp roof patches early you can avoid serious water damage repairs where plaster board will need to be replaced and repainted.

As you soon as you see any indication of water damage you should inspect your gutters for any blockages and book an appointment to have your gutters cleaned.
