Cleaning Gutters For Fall Maintenance

Why is it so important to clean your gutters as a part of your home maintenance routine in fall? There are two big reasons to take care of it before the first snowfall! First, leaves can cause damage to your house if they are left cluttered in your gutters and downspouts for the winter.

They can cause pressure to build up with the added weight of snow and ice and lead to your fascia boards (how your gutters are fastened to your home) becoming damaged and then damaging your home in return. Second, loose gutters can allow snow and ice to seep into your wood or siding. This can cause irreparable damage and a big bill in spring.
