When To Clean Your Gutters
A gutter service plan will ensure you have consistent gutter cleaning which will give you a peace of mind.
MARCH
When late spring rolls around, trees start to shed quite a bit—think oak tassels, seed pods, ragweed, and other plant bits. All this stuff tends to gather in your gutters, soaking up water like a sponge. Come summer and its inevitable thunderstorms, these clogged gutters can cause serious backups, possibly leading to water damage.
JUNE
Summer storms are great at knocking down larger tree debris, which ends up in your gutters. This not only blocks the flow of rainwater but can also weigh down and warp your gutters. If they’re not in good shape, they won’t be able to redirect rainwater properly, which might result in leaks or water damage to your house.
AUGUST
Heading into fall, you’ll notice the most debris falling into your gutters. From early October through to early January, it’s a good idea to clean your gutters two or three times. Staying on top of this will help you avoid a buildup that could lead to damage and give you peace of mind through the winter months. Regular cleaning during this busy season keeps your gutters clear, protecting your home from the elements.
FALL
As winter winds down, it’s common to find your gutters clogged with ice and leftover debris. To get ready for the rainy days of April, it’s a good idea to give your gutters a thorough cleaning. This ensures they can do their job—guiding rainwater safely away from your home’s foundation and walls.
