Time to Clean your Gutters

Its time to clean the debris from your gutters

The leaves are falling on your yard, your roof and in your gutters. Unless you have a gutter guard system on your home then those gutters are going to fill up quickly and daily.  It’s a job in itself this time of year, but a needed task that all homeowners need to focus on during this time. 

Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow onto your roof – causing a leak and damage to your roof. If not addressed, it can cause water damage inside your home. Constant overflow of rainwater can also lead to siding damage and wood rot. Your foundation can also be compromised with the overflow of water due to clogged gutters and downspouts. Clogged gutters can also cause damage inside your home if pooled water accumulates to any exposed wooden areas near our roof and windows. 

Clear your gutters of any debris and check them often until all your leaves have fallen. You want to make sure they are all clear before the winter temperatures arrive.
