Rain gutters are the silent workhorses of any commercial property. They’re designed to be big and strong enough to move vast volumes of water away from the property to prevent costly water damage. They protect your siding, windows, doors, walkways, and foundation from the harmful effects of stormwater even during the freezing winter temperatures.
When they do their job right, you hardly notice they’re there. Maintaining your commercial gutters should be left to the professionals and here’s why:
It’s Safer
Some commercial property managers consider cleaning and maintaining gutters a job for their commercial maintenance crew. Working on gutters is dangerous. Even a fall from a single-story building can cause serious injuries, leaving your business financially liable.
It Saves You Money
Maintaining your commercial gutters keeps the rainwater flowing and helps your gutters live a long life. Neglecting them can lead to expensive water damage and breakage. A professional gutter technician has a keen eye for potential problems before they arise, and repairing a small problem is always cheaper than waiting until it becomes a big problem. They also have all the right tools for the job.
Commercial properties must follow local and state regulations when dealing with stormwater runoff and failing to do so could result in fines or make you liable for damage to your neighbor’s property. A reputable, professional gutter company will stand by their work to ensure their customers are satisfied.
It’s Faster
Professional gutter techs are quick and efficient. They can do the job right in a much shorter amount of time than your maintenance crew. They have the right tools and a supply of replacement parts at the ready.
Maintenance for your commercial gutters is an important part of keeping them clog-free and working properly. It’s easy to forget your gutters are there when they’re clear but when they become clogged with debris, water overflows and if it’s not taken care of, it will cause damage to anything in its path. Large box-style gutters that are common for commercial properties are particularly prone to a build-up of debris if they don’t have gutter guards especially if there are large trees nearby. Clogs can also lead to infestations of insects and the build-up can become a smelly, mucky mess. A professional gutter technician will clean out the muck in your gutters and downspouts and repair any damage so you can go back to forgetting that your gutters are there.
