Top 5 Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning

28 May

When was the last time you checked your gutters? Many homeowners don’t realise there’s a problem until water damage appears. To help you avoid costly repairs, here are the top 5 signs your gutters need cleaning.

1. Water Overflowing During Rain

If water is spilling over the sides, your gutters are blocked.

2. Plants Growing in Your Gutters

Moss, grass, and even small weeds are a clear sign of built-up debris.

3. Sagging or Pulling Gutters

Blocked gutters become heavy, causing brackets to bend or break.

4. Damp Patches Inside Your Home

Leaking gutters can let water seep into walls, leading to mould and damp.

5. Birds or Pests Nesting

If you notice birds or insects, your gutters may be clogged with debris.
