Whether you’re removing a tree stump to make room for a new garden bed or finally getting rid of that unsightly eyesore, the process is essentially the same. Here’s what you need to know.

Tree stumps may seem harmless, but they can pose a potential tripping hazard, promote pest/disease infestation, and will decrease the value of your home by creating the appearance of a poorly maintained property. Removing stumps eliminates the potential spread of infestation that live in the tree stumps.

After removing a tree from your property, dormant tree stumps can spread decay and invite unwanted species into your yard. Stumps also grow fungi, which is dangerous for small children & pets. It is best to get the entire stump removed to prevent decay, mold, or infected wood from spreading.

Typically, tree stumps are ground from between 4 to 6 inches below the surface. This depth offers a perfect balance between grinding costs and effectiveness. Most tree stumps do not extend beyond 6 inches below the ground surface.

Allowing ivy to grow wild over the exterior of your home can lead to structural damage. Over time roots penetrate small cracks clearing a path for insects and moisture to make their way into the interior of your home. Ivy damages bricks, wood, stucco, siding, windows, etc. The roots easily find siding seams and small cracks in stucco, brick, concrete, stone and other materials growing into them and causing damage.

Self-clinging climbers such as Boston ivy and Virginia creeper do not usually cause damage to wall surfaces, but common or English ivy supports itself by aerial roots and where these penetrate cracks or joints they may cause structural damage.

Whilst this type of plant isn’t as dangerous as tree roots or Japanese Knotweed, it is important to have the foundations inspected regularly as English ivy can lead to damp interior walls and structural damage over time.

It is always a good idea to hire a professional to help you with your ivy trimming needs as it is quite a dangerous task.

Does Ivy Devalue A Home?

There are cases in which ivy will devalue a property, but this depends on where you live and if your plant is poisonous/invasive.

Vines can slip beneath spaces of siding, shingles and other materials ultimately pulling them away from the home. Another concern about growing vines on siding is that they create moisture between the plant and home. This moisture can lead to mold, mildew and rot on the home itself. It can also lead to insect infestations.

Reasons Why You Should Trim Ivy On Your Home

-Protect wooden trim, gutters, and windows
-Stimulate new growth
-Prevent infestation of insects and other pests
-Improve air circulation
-Keep the vine within its boundaries
-Create full healthy looking vines
-It can pull down weakened or improperly-built structures
-It will hold onto textured surfaces and leave a hard to remove residue behind

The benefits of gutter cleaning include the prevention of water damage to your home, the protection of your foundation, and the improvement of your home’s curb appeal.

By regularly removing leaves and debris, you can avoid costly repairs and maintain the beauty of your home. Our gutter cleaning service is second to none, and our team of experienced professionals will leave your gutters sparkling clean.

The Importance Of Your Home Drainage System

Maintenance is a preventative measure used to ensure the maximum efficiency, reliability and to save you from costly repairs in the future. It is always more expensive to have a repair done than to perform regular maintenance.

Most homeowners underestimate the importance of having a functional and well maintained gutter system. Gutters and downspouts are essential aspects of an overall rain water management system. This system is designed to prevent water from overflowing and pooling around your home. If the water from your roof is not drained away correctly it can lead to a number of avoidable issues and cause severe property damage, potentially flood your neighbors home as-well. Having your gutters cleaned regularly also keeps unwanted pests, animals, and other critters from building nests and living on your home rent-free!

Why Should You Have Your Gutters Cleaned?

- Prevent Landscape Erosion
- Driveway Heaving
- Costly Repairs
- Damage to Fascia & Other Parts Of Your Home
- Over watering Garden Beds
- Flood/Leak Prevention
- Keep Out Pests
- Piece Of Mind

Common Consequences Of Neglected Gutter Systems

- Rotting fascia boards, loose gutters, gutters falling off, caulking deterioration, leaks, mold and mildew buildup, flooding, foundation damage, and structural issues.
- These issues can spread to your basement walls, crawl space, and attic
- Softened soil around your homes foundation which will lead to cracks.
- If the foundation is wet and freezes, this will cause level ground to sink, cracks and possible damage to your homes interior
All it takes is one heavy rainfall to cause you severe issues on your property, by then it's too late

Roof & Shingles

Roof shingles deteriorate over time and the shingle dust that builds up in the eaves can be very heavy. This causes your gutters to become loose and eventually fall off your home if left unattended. Having all that weight hanging above your head is not the ideal safety situation.
Regular maintenance will alleviate the concerns.

Downspouts

Clogged downspouts lead to overflowing gutters will result in structural damage to your home, over watering of garden beds, and flooded basements.

Downspouts can burst at the seam where they are joined due to being clogged too long which requires replacement.

Water flowing from your gutters to the ground should be diverted 4-6 feet to protect your homes foundation and prevent basement floods.

Visual Inspection

Often there is wear and tear on your roof that is not visible from the ground.
While we perform the gutter cleaning service we visually inspect your roof and gutters, report issues and whether they are urgent or not.

We pride ourselves on our honesty & integrity, we do not attempt to charge our clients for unnecessary repairs. We have top shelf professional roofers that we will refer to you upon request. They will take care of all of your roofing needs if necessary.

After rainstorms, don’t be afraid to grab the umbrella and take a walk around your home to visually inspect your gutters from ground level. Make sure you have no over issues or leaks and ensure the water is flowing freely away from your foundation.

Upon noticing anything out of the ordinary we suggest you contact a professional as soon as possible to avoid any damage to your property.

Before Winter Arrives

If you are unable or choose not to have your gutters cleaned toward the end of fall, the clogged downspouts will cause water to fill your gutters, overflow, freeze and cause ice buildup above and below.

A slip and fall could be a long term negative life altering experience. Don’t risk your families and your own safety by not maintaining the most valuable material possession you own, your home.

Maintenance Frequency

The landscape surrounding your property will determine the frequency in which your gutters should be maintained. The average home should have the gutters cleaned once a year in fall after the leaves have fallen off of the trees. If your home is surrounded by trees that are higher or at the same level as your gutters, we suggest you have your gutters cleaned once a year in fall. If you don’t have trees around your home or the trees are lower than your gutters, we suggest you schedule a cleaning every 3-5 years.

Hiring A Professional

When hiring a professional to clean your gutters be sure ask if they are insured. Uninsured companies have no way of repaying you for any property damage caused during the cleaning. Hiring an uninsured contractor can expose you to significant financial risk in the event of an injury on your property.

Social Proof Verification

A positive online presence will ensure the company is trustworthy, has experience in their field and has plenty of previous satisfied clients. Adopting this as standard practice takes just a few minutes of your time and increases the likelihood of you receiving high quality service.

When you are ready to have your gutters cleaned be sure to think of your own safety and hire an experienced professional.
