Gutter Cleaning

 You should clean your gutters at least twice a year, in the late spring and fall, to prevent clogs and water damage. However, this frequency may need to increase if you have many overhanging trees or live in a stormy or high-wind area.  

 Signs that gutters need cleaning include water overflowing during rain, sagging or detached gutters, and visible plant or mold growth in the gutters. Other indicators are water stains on siding, pools of water near the foundation, and the presence of pests or animals nesting in the gutters.
