Gutters might seem like a tiny aspect of your home’s interior, but they’re actually incredibly important to the health of your home. 

The gutters are like a water discharge system for your home’s exterior, protecting your roof, walls, foundation, and landscape. If they’re clogged, rainwater can become a serious problem. 

​

Without appropriate gutter cleaning, your home could be at risk for:

• A Leaky Roof 

• Water Damage 

• Pest Infestations 

• Bee Infestations 

• Black Mold 

• Flooding 

​

To avoid these costly home repairs, it’s better to be proactive when it comes to gutter maintenance.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEAN MY GUTTERS? 

While the answer really depends on how many trees you have in your yard, experts recommend biannual gutter cleaning: in the spring and fall.

​

Cleaning your gutters in the spring ensures that dead leaves from the winter don’t continue to clog your gutters. A spring cleaning also eliminates those pesky maple tree helicopters which can be a real nuisance for South Jersey homes.

​

In the fall, it makes sense to clean your gutters because most of the leaves have fallen. Without cleaning, these autumnal leaves will stay stuck in your gutters and create problems.

​

If you live on a heavily wooded property, as many in South Jersey tend to be, you might want to clean your gutters every four months. When leaves fall year-round, it’s important to have year-round gutter cleaning as well.

CAN I CLEAN GUTTERS MYSELF?

You can try, but it’s usually best to leave gutter cleaning to a certified gutter repair company. Not only will you have to secure a safe latter to do the work, but you also might find it difficult to clean the downspouts.

The downspouts, which act as a spout for rainwater, need to be cleaned so that they don’t back up and eventually clog the roof.

​

Hiring a professional gutter repair company ensures that every aspect of your home’s gutter system will be cleaned thoroughly and correctly.
