Gutters are one of the most overlooked parts of a home's roofing system, yet they do a huge amount of work keeping water away from your foundations, fascia, and walls.
How Often to Clean Them
As a general rule, clean your gutters at least twice a year -- once in autumn after leaves drop, and once before storm season kicks off in spring. If you've got overhanging trees, you may need to do it more often.
Signs Your Gutters Need Attention
- Water overflowing during moderate rain, not just downpours
- Sagging sections or gutters pulling away from the fascia
- Plants or grass growing in the gutter line
- Rust spots or visible corrosion on metal gutters
- Water marks or staining on the exterior walls below the gutter line
Why It Matters More Than You Think
Blocked or damaged gutters don't just cause overflow -- they can force water back up under your roofline, leading to rot in fascia boards and even foundation issues over time from water pooling around your home's base.
