Gutter Cleaning Omaha NE
When was the last time you thought about your gutters? Maybe it was after the last storm deluge, and you noticed the rain pouring down and the gutters struggling to handle to water. For most people, they barely register as a thing to think about until something goes horribly wrong with them. Like they fall off, or get damaged.
But thinking about them before they get damage, and then getting them cleaned, can actually help prevent them getting damaged in the first place. And if you schedule our regular Gutter Cleaning service, you can go back to not thinking about your gutters again, and be content that we are on the case.

Gutters are pretty simple things. They are just there to get the water off your roof and down into your drainage system. That’s about it. It’s when something blocks this process that things start going wrong. It’s when they begin to fail and break and cause potential problems to your roof, walls and foundations.
As we said, they are designed to move water along; they aren’t designed to handle the weight of pools of water unable to flow due to dirt, debris, vegetation, twigs and all manner of stuff blocking and clogging the gutter. Water is heavy; things soaked with water are heavy, as well, and with enough of a blockage, the weight begins to cause the gutters to start to sag and buckle. Removing the blockage can prevent repair costs in the future.
Standing pools of water, unable to flow to the drainage pipe, also causes problems. Water causes wood to rot and metal to rust. You do not want pools of water on your roof due to blockages in your gutter, as the water may cause leaks in your roof, allowing the water inside and necessitating an expensive roof repair.
Standing water also attracts disease carrying insects like mosquitoes. If there are cracks in your roof, the mosquitoes can enter as easily at the water, causing health issues to your family.
BPM Gutter Cleaning Omaha provides gutter cleaning services, both one-off and regularly scheduled, so that you can clean your gutters before they ever become a problem.
Between scheduled appointments, you can use the following four tips to see whether or not your gutters might be having blockage issues.
- Water saturated dirt, mud and vegetation can become heavy, and gutters aren’t designed to bear a constant weight like that. So, if they are blocked, the gutter can begin to sag from your roof, or buckle.
- Check your roof, walls and foundations for mold and mildew. Blocked gutters cause water to overrun; this water will flow down your walls and pool at your foundations. Mold and mildew at these locations are signs that this is occurring.
- If you notice grass, plants or flowers growing from your gutters, this is also a pretty clear sign that there is a blockage, as this vegetation needs soil and water to grow.
- Pay attention to whether birds, rodents or insects seem to be particularly attracted to your gutters. Nesting birds love the supply of leaves, twigs and vegetation a blocked gutter can provide their homes, while rodents love the warmth and security a blocked gutter full of debris and mud provides against predators. And many insects like mosquitoes are attracted to water.
You might think you can save a few dollars by cleaning them yourselves. We would advise against that. Climbing ladders while handling equipment is a skill that requires training, and even more importantly, knowing where to place the ladder to ensure a strong support is a skill that requires experience. Blocked gutters may be structurally unsound; we’ve already mentioned that they may sag and buckle due to the weight of the blockage. Placing a ladder against them and expecting them to hold your weight as you climb the ladder is a risk you shouldn’t take.
Falls of only a few feet can cause severe damage, and every year, 300 people in America die from ladder related incidents. We do not want that to be you. At BPM Gutter Cleaning Omaha, our contractors are experienced in the proper way of climbing ladders and working at heights. Please avail yourselves of our services, so that you don’t have to risk yourself.
