It’s been a record-breaking summer this year, so overflowing gutters are probably the last thing on your mind.
The lack of rain hasn’t tested your guttering system and has actively suppressed weed growth. Green shoots appearing over the top of your gutters are usually the first sign of a problem that needs addressing—and we haven’t seen much of that this summer.
However, the almost incessant sunshine and heat bake the moss on your roof, drying it out and loosening its grip on the tiles. Once birds come looking for their next snack—or when the next rainfall hits—that moss breaks free.
Moss is undoubtedly the number one cause of debris in gutters. When dry moss falls into your gutters, it breaks down and creates a superb growing medium for germinating seeds as soon as the autumn rain arrives.
There is a perfect window between August and October to get your gutters cleared and prepared for winter.
At GutterPRO, we offer a ‘no problem, no charge’ visit. If the gutters are completely clear when we arrive, you won’t pay a penny.
