One of the best ways to maintain a happy and healthy drainage system is to regularly clear your gutters. 

Over time, sticks, twigs, leaves, and other elements will clog up your gutters, causing water backups. 

When left unchecked, this will cause mold and mildew, which reduce the systems’ lifespan, damage the structural integrity of your home, and add costs to your maintenance bills. 

What’s worse?

If temperatures drop below freezing, that gunky water and sludge will turn to ice, making it that much harder to clear. 

Fortunately, you can avoid the hassle by cleaning your gutters about 2-3 times per year:

At the beginning of fall and the end of spring. 

But, why spring and fall?

Well, because, in our experience, dead leaves tend to be the main culprit for clogged gutters.

These, combined with the rain that accompanies spring and fall, form a mat that clogs gutters and dams up the downspouts, which causes overflow.

So, stay on the lookout for saggy gutters or damaged drain components – keeping your drainage system maintained is a key factor in lengthening the life of your roof, walls, and home.

And when you treat your roof with love, it’ll protect you from the elements for years to come!
