‘You can’t see the wood for the trees.’ Have you heard this phrase before? People use it when they want to say that sometimes something might be hidden in plain sight, there but hard to see.
The guttering on your Brentford property could be like that. Every time you leave your home or workplace, your guttering is over your head, and every time you return, it is right there in front of you. But go on, be honest. When is the last time you stopped to think about or even look at the guttering on your Brentford property?
The reality is that most of us forget about the guttering, and we pay it no attention even when it is in our line of sight. But when it comes to your home and its guttering, Brentford property owners should pause to make sure that it is in good condition.
Guttering really is the workhorse of the house. It is continually doing its job, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. It is there in the scorching sun, and it is there in the driving rain. Your guttering is continually taking care of your Brentford property, managing the water flow away from your property and protecting the overall structure of your home or workplace.
The problem with the guttering Brentford property owners have around their building is that if you are not paying attention, it can deteriorate and become damaged. This can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes, there are flaws in the original installation from when the Brentford property was built. Alternatively, it can deteriorate and joints can fail, or accidental damage can happen, for example if ladders are leaned against it or footballs are kicked into it.
If you have damage to the guttering on your Brentford property, the chances are you will not have noticed. This is for two reasons. Firstly, any damage is likely noticeable when it is raining, as you may see the joints leaking water. But who goes outside in the rain to look at the guttering? In dry weather, this damage is not always easy to notice. Secondly, the water could be leaking inward into your wall cavity or roof space. Your Brentford property could be slowly damaged without you even noticing. Over time, the damp can spread through the wall, entering the plaster and causing secondary problems like dampness or mould in the property.
