What does Fall Weather Mean for your Gutter System?

September is finally here and the cool air is starting to roll through. This fall, clean and inspect your gutters to prevent potential problems moving in through the winter.

To start, remove the leaves, twigs, and other debris from your gutters. Clogged gutters do not drain properly and the extra weight could cause your gutters to sag. Cleaning your gutters is something you as a homeowner can do and it should be done yearly. Use your garden hose to wash away any additional dirt you could not remove by hand and look closely to ensure water is running without restraint through your downspouts.

Inspect your gutters for dents, cracks, or holes while you are already up close and personal with them. It is important to get any damage repaired or replaced when you find it to maintain the integrity of your gutters and protect your roof!
