Get your gutters ready for autumn

Cleaning your property during this fall season is an excellent way to avoid the spread of germs and protect your family from allergies and breathing problems caused by dust.

What about your gutters? We all know fall brings great climate and colorful landscapes, but it also makes the leaves dry and fall on your roof, and your gutters are probably the last thing on your mind, but cleaning and preparing them for the fall season will help you to avoid future costly repairs. Gutter maintenance is a chore that needs to be done, especially during this harvest season, because rain gutters eventually get clogged with leaves, animals, and other debris.

Most helpful tips to prepare your gutters:

1. Inspect your gutters all the year, not only in autumn.
2. Deep clean your roof and gutters.
3. Inspect your gutters for wear and tear and repair the damage.
4. Trim tree branches (if required).
5. Install gutter guards and covers to decrease the amount of organic debris that enters your gutter system.
6. If you do not have the time to clean and repair the gutters yourself, you can hire a reputable roofing contractor.

Advice. - Before inspecting your gutters for this fall season, please wear the proper equipment: a bucket, work gloves, protective eyewear, and a stable ladder.

Gutter inspection and maintenance are required, and of course, you can do it by yourself, but if you’re not comfortable on a ladder, don't take the risk and hire a professional roofing contractor to do it for you.
