Your gutters are crucial to your home’s well-being. They channel water away from your roof, foundation and landscaping, so it’s important to keep them clog-free at all times. Doing so will spare you from costly repairs and safety issues.
Gutter Helmet® of Western North Carolina shares some maintenance tips to keep in mind:
Fix Problems Immediately
Never underestimate small cracks, holes and leaks. When left unaddressed, they can turn into major problems that may require expensive repairs. That said, seek the help of a professional to inspect and fix your gutters as soon as you notice signs of damage.
Keep a Maintenance Schedule
Leaves, twigs and other debris can collect in your gutters, resulting in clogs over time. This causes water to spill over the sides, rendering your gutters useless. Make sure to clean your gutters at least twice a year to keep your them working smoothly. If there are trees near your home, trim the overhanging limbs and branches to minimize clogging and avoid roof damage. At Gutter Helmet of Western North Carolina, we can help you learn how to clean gutters with gutter guards.
Install a Gutter Protection System
Without the proper tools and training, cleaning gutters on your own can be daunting. This is where a gutter protection system can help. It’s designed to filter debris out so water can flow freely into your downspouts.
For long-term results, choose Gutter Helmet. Unlike other gutter guards, it features a nose-forward design and a slim opening to prevent leaves, twigs, seeds and dirt from entering your gutters. It also comes with a textured surface for improved surface tension, so water won’t spill over the sides as it flows through the system. By keeping your gutters in top condition, you save time, money, and effort for many years.
