It is important to include eavestrough repair as part of regular home maintenance as these important parts of your houses structure can protect it from some very substantial damage. Things like damp in the basement, some types of roof damage, walls chipping or decaying can all be avoided by a good guttering system. Just checking the system and its condition twice a year could ensure that your property is safe from this kind of rainwater damage.

The damage that water can cause gets increasingly worse if it is left. Continual leaks into or down the outside of the property can wear away paint and cause erosion. Any area that remains damp will begin to suffer from mould or rot which can be very expensive to treat.

As well as this any water trapped in the system through the winter may freeze causing additional damage to the guttering itself. It is clear that the additional problems can all lead to very large and expensive repairs.Proper maintenance of the eavestroughs and drainage system just twice a year

will avoid these other major problems.

During the autumn many gutters get blocked with dead leaves, if these block the down pipe exits then the guttering will flood causing the water to run over the edges along the side of the building. It is therefore important that before winter sets in you check the gutters. They should be checked again after spring before summer and this may be a good time if they need a coat of paint.

Using heavy protective gloves remove all leaves and debris from the channels and make sure all down pipes are clear and working. Brush all loose leaves from under the eaves too to avoid them falling into the drains at a later date. Using the hosepipe to clear away all small remaining rubbish, continue by hosing down through the downspouts and feeding the hose down too. This will remove any partial debris which may start to form a blockage in the future.

It is possible that there is already damage to the pipes or channels and their joints especially if this is your first inspection. These repairs will need to be done quickly to ensure the water has a clear passage to the point where it is safely drained from the property. The mountings holding the toughs should also be secure and straight. If the troughs point up hill the water will just collect at the lower point until it overflows.

If it is discovered that the pipes and channelling are in a real bad state of repair then it may be time to call in the professionals to replace the whole system. Although this may seem an unnecessary cost, it could save you a great deal in prevention of damp problems in the future. A little money invested now will be a very wise move.

If people include eavestrough repair as part of regular home maintenance twice a year they can be sure their house is safe from unwanted leaks. With regular coats of paint as desired these troughs and pipes can be seen as an enhancement to you home. While you can rest easy knowing they are doing the job they were designed to do.
