Residential and Commercial Gutters

1. Regular Cleaning: Even with gutter guards, it's a good idea to periodically clean your gutters to remove any debris that might accumulate on top or get through the guards. This is especially important in the fall when leaves are falling.
2. Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect your gutters for signs of damage, such as rust, leaks, or loose parts. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
3. Trim Overhanging Branches: If you have trees near your roof, trim branches that could potentially fall onto your gutters during storms and cause damage.
4. Check Downspouts: Ensure that downspouts are clear of obstructions and direct water away from your foundation to prevent water damage.
5. Seal Leaks: If you notice any leaks, use gutter sealant or patching materials to seal them.
6. Realign Gutters: Over time, gutters can become misaligned. Make sure they are properly sloped towards the downspouts to allow for proper drainage.
7. Weatherproofing: Depending on your climate, you may need to apply weatherproofing coatings to protect the gutter material from the elements.
8. Professional Inspections: Periodically, consider having a professional inspect your gutters for more thorough maintenance and to catch any potential issues early.

Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your gutter system and help prevent water damage to your home.
