How often should you clean your gutters?

​

How often you need to clean your gutters depends on the climate and the size of your home, but it's generally recommended that you do so at least twice a year. Your gutters play an important role in your home by funneling rainwater away from your roof and foundation. However, if they're not cleaned regularly, they can become clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris, which can lead to water damage.

How do I know if my gutters need cleaning?

​

Gutters play an important role in protecting a home's foundation and landscaping from water damage. If they are not kept clean and free of debris, they can quickly become clogged and ineffective. Clogged gutters can also lead to roof leaks and other problems.

​

There are several signs that can indicate that your gutters need to be cleaned. These include:

​

1. Leaves or branches falling into the gutter;

2. Water pooling on top of the gutter because it is blocked;

3. A buildup of mud inside the gutter;

4. The presence of insects such as ants

​

What happens if you don't clean gutters?

​

It's the time of year when leaves are falling off of trees and piling up on the ground. While this might be pretty to look at, if you're not careful, all of that excess foliage can create some serious problems. One such problem is clogged gutters. If you don't clean your gutters regularly, the backed-up water can cause leaks in your roof, damage your home's foundation, and even lead to mosquito infestations.
