Gutter Cleaning Tips to Protect Your Home from Leaks and Damage

Gutter Cleaning: clogged gutters can cause leaks, roof damage, and even foundation issues. Leaves and debris block the flow, forcing rainwater back into the house. Here’s how to stay safe and keep water moving where it should.

How to do it: clean gutters at least twice a year—spring and fall. Wear gloves and scoop out debris, then flush with a garden hose to verify proper flow. Make sure downspouts are clear. If you have many trees around, install gutter guards to reduce maintenance and prevent clogs.
