The Benefit of Seasonal Gutter Cleaning
At a minimum, we recommend that your gutters be cleaned at least twice a year. However, it is preferable to have your gutters cleaned 4-6 times per year. To some, this would seem to be over-kill. But there is a reason why we recommend this. That is because fall leaves are not the only debris that can clog your gutters throughout the year. For example, in early spring or late winter, we clean out the dirt, debris, and branches from the winter months, so that spring showers do not overflow your gutters. In early summer, your gutters can be filled with various seeds from trees pollinating, which need to be cleared. Throughout the summer, there are numerous strong thunderstorms with heavy wind that can cause branches and other debris to obstruct your gutters. And of course, in the autumn months, fallen leaves will most certainly block the water from leaving your downspouts. If your property has a lot of adjacent trees, you may want to have your downspouts cleared multiple times during the fall.
