Give Your Gutters Some Love

What comes after fallen leaves? Heavy rain and snow, and if your gutters are not ready for it, this could be a big problem. Ignoring leaf-clogged gutters could cause them to sag or break off from the house. 

This is an important task for both home and business owners and should be considered general upkeep for your residential or commercial building. Here’s why… 

What Happens As the Water Overflows a Gutter?

Water that overflows a gutter could leak down the exterior of the house and fall into any opening it can find. This might result in damage requiring professional water restoration and could even lead to the development of mold damaged window sills. 

How Can You Stay Ahead?

Check your gutters twice a year, especially following a particularly hard winter or heavy storms. This will help you stay ahead of any build up of debris, especially around the fall. The best and only way to check on your gutters and clean them is to stand on a sturdy ladder. Never clean your gutters from the roof.
