HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR GUTTERS?
Regular gutter cleaning is essential to protect your home from water damage. As a general rule, gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. These seasons are important because fall brings falling leaves and debris, while spring clears away any winter buildup.
However, the frequency of cleaning depends on several factors:
- Tree Coverage: Homes near trees, especially large ones, need more frequent cleaning, as they collect more leaves and twigs.
- Climate: Areas with heavy rainfall, storms, or snow may require more frequent cleaning to prevent blockages.
- Roof Design: Homes with steep roofs may need cleaning less often, while low-pitched roofs collect debris more easily.
- Gutter Type: Larger or wide gutters may need cleaning more often, though gutter guards can reduce the frequency.
Signs You Need to Clean Your Gutters Sooner:
- Overflowing water
- Sagging gutters
- Visible plant growth
- Water stains on walls or foundation
For easier cleaning, use the right tools, consider installing gutter guards, or hire a professional if needed. Regular cleaning will prevent costly damage and keep your home safe. If you need any advises from Our Professionals, please feel free to contact Our Radiant Clean today.
