Unfortunately, in Devon, it rains quite a lot, so gutter clearing is essential. You may ask why? Well, gutters that are full to the obviously stop the water from flowing normally down them; unfortunately, it then just flows over the top. Obviously you can see this when it is flowing over the front, what you can't see is it flowing over the back.
The issues this can cause are:
Damp problems to your walls and render.
Sometimes this overflowing water can cause damp problems within your property and roof space.
It can be a nuisance with water splashing everywhere and dropping on you when you exit your house
You will get a lot of runoff on your paths. causing a lot of puddling and in rare cases small scale flooding.
The clearing is done using a specialized tool called a gutter vacuum, which is an industrial-sized vacuum with plenty of power to remove the debris inside your gutters. The advantages are that everything gets removed, and it can all be done from the ground, making it safe for me, the operator.
