There are few greater feelings than being a homeowner and having a place to truly call your own, even though the laundry list of home improvement tasks can feel never-ending. With that in mind, one of the most important—yet often overlooked or avoided—aspects of owning a home is maintaining proper care of its gutters, as failure to do so can lead to a domino effect of headaches, including water damage and foundation damage. Here are some helpful tips for keeping your gutters—and your home, as a direct result—in the best shape possible.
Cleaning
Regular gutter cleaning is essential and arguably one of the most crucial aspects of maintaining their prime condition. When debris enters your gutters and downspouts, your gutters will likely clog, preventing them from keeping your home safe from water damage. Routinely clearing your gutters and downspouts of debris will ensure they work as intended for many years to come.
Maintenance
Though often neglected, gutters are some of the hardest working elements of any home. As such, they will inevitably require some TLC from time to time to ensure they’re always working correctly and to prevent the need for repairs down the road. This includes cleaning, reinforcing gutter screws, sealing any problematic leaks, and anything else that may arise. Staying on top of gutter maintenance is the best way to keep your gutter system in tip-top shape.
Repair
If you notice your gutter system is damaged or not working properly, it’s critical to act fast. A broken gutter system can lead to wood rot, damaged siding, pest infestations, and even foundation damage. Repair your gutters quickly to ensure they can continue preventing these misfortunes from impacting your home.
