Keeping the Gutters Clean

Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t think about cleaning the gutters and let them go too long between cleanings. This eventually will lead to your leaf gutters to overflow with leaves, which in turn won’t move water effectively and will slowly begin deteriorating your home’s structural integrity. If this is the point your home has reached, a gutter cleaning is desperately needed to prevent further damage to your home. With regular maintenance, on the other hand, gutters remain operational, clean, and even help you save money by preventing damage.

Proper Maintenance for Gutters

All gutters require cleaning and maintenance to allow them to work properly throughout the year. In general, professional gutter maintenance involves cleaning out the gutters and doing a thorough inspection to see if they need any repairs to work properly. It is recommended that homeowners have a gutter inspection at least yearly, though it’s a good idea to have it done during the spring before the seasonal storms and before the winter, when ice can become an issue.
