DON'T PUT UP WITH BLOCKED GUTTERS, RISKING THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY, AND DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE CLEANING THEM OUT

GUTTERING protects your home's exterior walls from rain by channelling it from the roof to a drain in the ground via gutters and downpipes.

And if it becomes damaged or blocked, it may put your home at risk from water penetration or damp.

So check it regularly - especially in autumn when leaves are falling and at this time of year when trees are shedding blossom.

Checking and repairing guttering and downpipes often involves working on a ladder. Only go up if you feel safe, and always take full safety precautions.

A good guttering and drainage system is essential to the longevity of your roof, and to the preservation and care of your property. If left untended, water can seep into the foundation and cause a number of problems that are costly to fix.

It's true that the roof is, perhaps, by far one of the most important parts of a house. It not only provides a covering over your dwelling, but it also keeps out the elements and preserves what is underneath it. So, it is easy to see why good maintenance and proper upkeep is essential

One of the most important aspects of roof upkeep is making sure the guttering and drainage system is working properly. When water collects on the roof and cannot drain properly, it runs off the house and settles at the foundation. Good roof drainage is probably more important to the foundation of the house than the roof itself. This is because water that runs off onto the foundations is almost always a detrimental to the preservation of your house. It seeps down into crawl spaces, vaporizing and rotting sills and floors. It can even seep into the basement, causing yet another round of problems to occur.

Ninety percent of the damage to a house caused by moisture begins in a crawl space, so it is very important to drain water from roofs to keep it away from the foundation.
