How Often Should I Have My Gutters Cleaned?
A good rule of thumb is to have your gutters cleaned twice a year, in spring and fall. However, the recommended schedule also depends on your local climate and how many trees are in your yard. How many leaves land in your gutter in the fall? What types of leaves are they? Are there any tree branches overhanging your gutters? The answers to these questions will determine how often your gutters need to be cleaned.
Why Is Gutter Cleaning Important?
When leaves, dirt and other wind-blown debris fall into your gutters, they can form gutter clogs and block the flow of water when it rains. Once this happens, water will overflow from your gutters and cause all sorts of damage, such as roof leaks, siding problems and ruined landscaping. If left unattended, the water can even cause foundation damage. Regular gutter cleaning will prevent gutter clogs.
