Why Gutter Cleaning in Winter Matters More Than Ever
Winter in New Zealand isn’t just about rain and chilly mornings — it’s the season where blocked gutters can quietly destroy your roof, walls, and foundation.
If you’re skipping gutter cleaning until spring, here’s why winter is the worst time to ignore it.
🌧️ Why Winter is So Hard on Gutters
- More rain = more pressure on drainage
- Moss, leaves, and debris build up fast in colder weather
- Overflowing gutters cause:
- Roof leaks
- Rotted fascia boards
- Internal dampness and mould
- Flooded paths and driveways
Winter gutter cleaning is more than maintenance — it’s damage prevention.
🧼 3 Reasons to Clean Your Gutters Now
1. Avoid Costly Roof Repairs
Backed-up gutters soak rooflines and leak into ceiling cavities. That’s how minor blockages turn into $5,000+ repairs.
✅ Book a professional clean in your area:
2. Protect Your Walls and Foundation
Overflowing water runs down exterior walls and pools around your home. Over time, this causes:
- Cracked foundations
- Swollen window frames
- Damaged paint and cladding
3. Moss Build-Up Means More Debris
Winter also means moss, mould, and algae. These end up in your gutters — so a clean roof isn’t enough without clear drainage.
