Why Regular Gutter Cleaning Prevents Roof Damage and Damp
Neglecting your gutters might seem harmless, but over time, blocked gutters can cause serious problems to your roof and walls. At Dragon Shield Roofing Abertillery, we’ve seen how a simple gutter blockage can turn into a costly damp issue or roof leak.
Gutters are your roof’s first line of defence — they channel rainwater safely away from your property. When they become clogged with moss, leaves, or dirt, that water has nowhere to go but down your walls or under your roofline.
The Risks of Blocked Gutters
- Roof leaks and water penetration under tiles
- Damp patches and mould inside the home
- Rotting fascia boards and soffits
- Foundation erosion and landscape flooding
