While residential gutter cleaning may be on your radar as a yearly chore, you may be surprised to learn that your commercial facility’s gutters require just the same amount of attention. And with the intense storms this past rainy season that may have blown plant matter and debris into your building’s gutter system, your facility may be in need of more immediate maintenance. While some of you may be operating business facilities in sunshine states like California, Nevada, and Arizona, which may not have high levels of rain and snow like other localities, it is still a good rule of thumb to clear all gutters at least twice a year. Just like residential gutters, your commercial building’s gutters require scheduled maintenance, especially if your facility is in an area that’s densely populated, surrounded by trees, or experiences windy weather. The longer rainwater and debris like vegetation, and other unwanted materials sit trapped inside gutter systems, the more susceptible your building is to serious structural damage. So take the proper steps now and avoid costly repairs to your commercial building down the line.
Here are 4 reasons why hiring a professional building maintenance company for Commercial Gutter Cleanings is the right move for your commercial facility:
1. Increases building safety: Regular maintenance of commercial gutter systems helps prevent any potential building safety hazards that may arise from excessive debris buildup. Debris such as plant matter from nearby trees can lead to gutter breakage and leakage, which in turn leads to rotting building walls. The presence of standing water can also result in the increased growth of moss and algae which can further weaken your business’s infrastructure as a whole. Additionally, it can be unsafe to attempt any gutter debris removal without the proper equipment and training. It is always best to hire a commercial building maintenance company that is experienced with commercial facility gutters. Let the experienced team at Calico handle your gutter cleanings safely and swiftly so you can get back to focusing on your business.
2. Keeps away pests: By routinely clearing your commercial building’s gutters of debris, you will ensure water is properly directed away from crucial aspects of your building’s infrastructure such as brickwork, the foundation, and wood, which is particularly susceptible to damage and rot. Rotting wood attracts pests such as mice, rats, mosquitoes, and other insects that could cause widespread structural damage and pose health risks to your employees and visitors. Don’t let a neglected gutter system be the reason for a costly pest management service! Calico is ready to provide you with the gutter cleaning services your facility needs.

3. Help prevent future building issues: With regularly scheduled gutter cleanings, your business will not only function well now, but for years to come. Blockages in neglected gutters can lead to leaks, which can lead to premature deterioration of your building’s foundation, roof, and walls due to prolonged exposure to excessive dampness. These small gutter leaks can turn into time-consuming (and headache-inducing) costly damages down the line. Calico is ready to perform the routine gutter cleanings to protect your commercial building and help avoid building issues and repairs now, and in the future. Contact us today!
4. Improves the overall appearance of your business: Neglected and clogged gutters can lead to water damage to the exterior of your commercial building, which is the first sight visitors see when approaching your business. A stain-free facility exterior will help underline the professionalism of your company and team, and ensure your company is putting its best foot forward in every aspect. Let Calico help you achieve strong, positive first impressions with all your future clients and customers through a pristine facility exterior.
