Maintenance of gutters in the Vega Baja: how to prevent the next DANA you mount a pool in the living room

Do you know that feeling of peace when you hear rain in the background while you take a cup of coffee? What idyllic, right? Because in the Vega Baja that peace lasts exactly three seconds: as soon as the sky turns the color of an eggplant, all comes to us the same question to the head: what will be clean gutters from home?

And that is that here it does not rain as in Asturias. Here, when the sky opens, falls the universal deluge concentrated in twenty minutes. If your gutters are not ready for battle, your home becomes, literally, in the attraction of one water park.

The climate of the Vega Baja: the number one enemy of your roof

We live in the paradise of the sun, but meteorologically speaking, the Vega Baja is a sport of risk for the covers. There are three local factors that destroy your gutters without you realizing:

The calima and the saharan dust: that tierrecica red that you left the car made a box also builds up in your roof. With the morning dew turns into a mud-heavy ends up in the gutters, forming layers and increasing its thickness.
The “gifts” of the birds: storks, doves, and sparrows love our eaves. Among the branches for their nests and what you are going to drop, the jam is insured.
The sun end: the heat of July and August, fry the materials of poor quality (such as PVC), agrietándolos and leaving it ready to be broken in the first rain, or hail.

The result? The water does not find its natural outlet, and... surprise! Humidity insured on the facade.

How often do you need to do the maintenance?

No need to go up to the roof every month (in fact, please, don't do it: the heights of the load, the devil. The golden rule for our region is to do an in-depth review at least once a year.

Cleaning of the fall (before the cold drops)

It is the most critical times. It is necessary to remove all the ground gained in summer and dry the leaves before they reach the torrential rains of October and November.

Three signs that your gutters ask for help in screaming

If you notice any of these symptoms in your home from Almoradí, Calloused, Guardamar or any corner of the region of murcia, is a time to act:

The effect of “Niagara Falls”: if when it rains it falls more water on the outside of the gutter to the downspout, you have a plug the size of a watermelon.
Dark spots on the facade: the water overflows and erodes the paint of the wall. If you don't try to stop, the moisture will enter in house.
Gutters “panzones”: if you see that the spout is curved down in some area, the weight of the stagnant water and the mud is about to start the brackets to the wall or damage the tiles.

Shoemaker to your shoes: why clean the gutters yourself can cost you

What we know. The brother-in-law of shift you will say: "buy a ladder, you climb with a broom, and in the middle of the morning what you have done." We tell you why this is a terrible idea:

Your safety is priceless: climb a ladder to several meters, poorly supported, and managing tools, it's the perfect recipe for an upset. We use stairs approved, lifting platforms and lines of life.
The cleaning medium is not served: it is not enough to remove the four upper leaves. We have to clean the mud embedded pressure, check the seals and check the slopes.
Breaking expensive: if you're in the wrong ladder on a gutter old or step on the tiles that are not supposed to, break the system and the repair will cost you triple.
