Months of ice, snow and freezing temperatures can take a toll on your home, which is why you need to take steps to improve its protection. This includes paying attention to your gutters. Just like your roof and siding, your gutters play an important role in preventing the ill effects of water damage. If your gutters become clogged, however, they won’t be able to function properly, which makes your home vulnerable to serious water damage.
Read on as Gutter Helmet® of Cookeville, your reliable gutter protection service provider, shares helpful tips on keeping your gutters clean and healthy this season:
Clean Your Gutters
Cleaning your gutters is best done during the spring and fall when the weather is milder. If you forgot to clean your gutters in the fall, we recommend doing so now. If you find a blockage, address it immediately. Not only will this enable your gutters to drain precipitation away from your home as designed; it will also eliminate the extra weight from debris, which can cause your gutters to pull away from your home, creating a hazard.
Have a Professional Inspection
If you spot signs of damage, have a professional perform an in-depth inspection and conduct repairs promptly. Your gutters might be improperly pitched, which not only keeps water from draining properly but also allows debris to build up quickly. They might also have cracks and holes affecting their functionality. By keeping track of your gutters’ health, you can avoid costly problems down the road.
Install a Gutter Protection System
You can reduce the hassles of gutter maintenance by installing a high-quality gutter protection system like Gutter Helmet®. It is designed to block leaves, twigs and other debris from entering your gutters so water can flow freely into the downspouts. With its exceptional surface tension and tensile strength, it can handle up to 22 inches of rain per hour without overflowing. We back it with a lifetime warranty so you’ll never have to replace it.
