Start thinking about Fall clean up projects
WHY SHOULD HOMEOWNERS MAINTAIN CLEAN GUTTERS?
Maintaining gutter guards and regular gutter care are key to functional water management. This helps protect your home and it’s value. We recommend a good gutter cleaning once or twice a year depending on your property. A house on a heavily wooded landscape, for example, should have its gutters cleaned more often. In climates where there are heavy storms, rainfall, and snowstorms, gutter maintenance is crucial.
Gutter protection systems are great prevention, but some cleaning and maintenance will always be needed. Even if you have a gutter helmet, it will need to be sprayed down and cleared off regularly. This will keep debris from collecting on top and rendering gutters and downspouts practically useless. For unprotected gutters, cleaning is even more important as debris quickly collects on the edges of the roof and in the gutter.
And fall is a great time to do this. Once the bulk of the leaves have fallen, the landscaping work is done for the season, don’t forget this important step. It’s also a good thing to take care of before the heavy fall rains and winter snows hit.
