Why Gutter Maintenance Matters in the Spring

Your gutters play a crucial role in guiding rainwater away from your home. When they’re clogged or damaged, that water has nowhere to go—except into your siding, roofline, or basement.

Here’s what to watch for this spring:

• Overflowing Water: Water spilling over the sides of your gutters is a clear sign of blockage.

• Sagging or Pulling Gutters: Heavy debris and standing water can weigh down your gutters, causing them to pull away from your home.

• Visible Plant Growth: If you see greenery in your gutters, it’s time for a serious clean-out.

• Water Stains or Erosion: Look for water marks on your siding or soil erosion near your foundation—both are signs your gutters aren’t doing their job.

Simple Steps for Gutter Care

• Clean debris from all gutters and downspouts.

• Inspect for damage like cracks, rust, or loose fasteners.

• Ensure proper water flow by running water through the system.

• Consider gutter guards to minimize buildup during future seasons.
