Eavestrough Cleaningin Mississauga

If you live in Mississauga, consider yourself lucky. It’s a very diverse city with all kinds of colourful neighbourhoods complete with houses of all different sizes and ages. But no matter the size, age or location of your Mississauga home, what they all have common is their need for clean eavestroughs. From January to December, your Mississauga home’s roof is going to be pelted with snow, sleet, ice and rain. If the precipitation isn’t properly diverted away from your home, it won’t be long before it does serious damage to your roof or other parts of your property like your siding or your foundation.

Of course, you can be forgiven if you haven’t made cleaning your eavestroughs a priority. As far as household chores go, eavestrough cleaning might be the worst. No one wants to spend their valuable free time climbing up a rickety, old ladder to scoop out handfuls of mushy, wet leaves blocking the water from draining away from the house. It can be truly unpleasant, but, unfortunately, it must be done.

However, who ever said that you had to clean your eavestroughing yourself? Why not hire a team of professional eavestrough cleaners who can guarantee a thorough and efficient gutter clean at an affordable rate? Why not let insured professionals with specialized equipment make your life easier? If this sounds like something you would like to take advantage of, give Armstrong & Nelson Eavestroughing a call today. Our company has been proud to serve the GTA since 1970. With nearly a half a century’s worth of experience, we excel at making sure your Mississauga home’s gutters are 100 percent debris-free so that you don’t have to worry about things like foundation repairs or roof replacements.

What Happens If My Eavestroughs Aren’t Cleaned?

If you’ve never had an eavestrough collapse on you, it might be tempting to wonder whether or not you can get away with simply not cleaning the eavestroughs at your Mississauga home.

After all, the chore is a grueling one. It’s no wonder that, in a recent study, most homeowners described it as their second-least-favorite household chore, after cleaning the toilet!

Entrust in our specialists to do the dirty work for you, while you focus your time elsewhere. Our professionals will provide you with the highest-quality cleaning service. We will clear your eavestrough of dirt, mud, insects, and soggy rotten leaves.

The fact of the matter is that the eavestroughs absolutely need to be cleaned—and at a minimum of three to four times a year. With the amount of snow, rain, and precipitation that Mississauga gets on a yearly basis, not cleaning the gutters can cause serious water damage to your roof, attic, and even your basement!

When you don’t clean the gutters of your Mississauga home, the following things can happen:

  • •Leaves, dirt and debris clutter in your eavestrough. This is the most common problem that failing to clean your eavestroughs on a regular basis can cause, and a lot of the more severe consequences stem from this one. This prevents proper passage of liquids through your gutter and into the downspouts, and the buildup of wet, soggy material can weigh a lot—and put a lot of pressure on your gutters.
  • •Animals nest in your gutters. When water isn’t flowing through your eavestroughs properly, animals might find it a convenient place to live. Squirrels, jays, and raccoons in particular are notorious in the Mississauga area for overtaking gutters and eavestroughs—and using them for access to your attic or the inside of your roof.
  • •Water damage in your attic, roof, or basement. Clogged or malfunctioning gutters won’t redirect rain and precipitation to the designated drainage areas of your home—and all that water needs to go somewhere. Where it will go is into your attic, roof, or even your basement if your home’s drainage system isn’t up to the task. This excess moisture and liquid can cause wood and insulation to rot and mold to grow. Yuck!
  • •Collapsed eavestroughs, soffit, or fascia. Any of the structural elements of your home that are next to the gutters are liable to collapse if weighed down by gutters that haven’t been cleaned. Luckily, there’s an easy fix: calling Armstrong & Nelson Eavestroughing to do it for you!

Three Obvious Signs That Your Eavestroughs Need to Be Cleaned

You may not know this, but it really is necessary to have the gutters in your Mississauga home cleaned at least twice a year. Failing to do so is not only putting your home’s visible appearance at risk, it also increases the likelihood of damage and depreciation to your gutters which can cause everything from basement flooding to roof disrepair.

At Armstrong & Nelson Eavestroughing, we know that most people in Mississauga are very busy and it’s easy to forget about having your home’s gutters cleaned. However, what doesn’t make any sense is seeing signs of damage to your home’s gutter system and failing to do anything about it. With that in mind, here are three of the most obvious signs that your eavestroughs need to be cleaned by a professional service like the one offered by us:

  1. If animals have started crawling or living in your gutters or eavestroughs, then you know that they need to be cleaned. This is maybe the most obvious of signs and one that needs to be corrected right away. But aren’t some animals able to live in our gutters without causing major damage? The answer to that question is no. Sure, it is ok for bugs and insects to reside in your home’s eavestrough system (provided having creepy crawlies that close to you doesn’t freak you out!), but animals are a real no-no. If you start seeing squirrels, mice or birds making a home in your gutters, then you know that you need to stop procrastinating and call us. Once you do so, your eavestroughs will stop being such an attractive home for these animals!
  2. Secondly, if you have started to see that you are cultivating a garden in the sky, then this is another very obvious sign that your gutters need to be cleaned out. To put it simply, plants and weeds should not be sprouting out of your home’s eavestrough system. If this has started happening in your home, then you need to do something about it. One bright idea is to call the professionals at Armstrong & Nelson Eavestroughing right away. What many homeowners in Mississauga fail to realize is that a lot of dirt can get bedded into your eavestroughs and, under the right conditions, this can form a very effective soil layer for plants to prosper.
  3. If your home’s eavestroughs are starting to resemble waterfalls when rain comes, then you need to know that you have a problem on your hands. A properly working eavestrough system should be able to withstand even heavy rainfall without resembling water deluging down from it. So if this has become a reality for you, then you will need to do something about it. If the runoff water that comes during heavy showers can’t flow through your eavestrough system properly, then this will result in it running down the side of your home—and trust us—you don’t want that to happen!
