For many homeowners, the fall season is the time to clean out the gutters and perhaps even contact local leaf protection system installers for some much-needed gutter guard products. As trees all around shed their foliage during this time of year, this annual chore makes perfect sense. However, other seasons can take a toll on your gutters, too.
Our experts at Klean Gutters Midwest recommend making gutter cleaning a regular home maintenance task for all seasons. Here are the main reasons why:
Spring Cleaning
Spring might not see leaf deposits as heavy as in the fall, but plants and trees continuously release seedpods and pollen all season long. This could lead not only to allergies, but to blocked gutters as well. It’s best to call your trusted leaf guard installers to help keep your gutters and downspouts free of all the debris that can cause clogs and various other problems around your house.
Summer Breezes
Most homeowners schedule gutter cleaning right at the beginning of summer to clear out any clogs brought on by spring debris. This is a good idea, because all it takes to start a chain reaction of water-related damage in many different parts of your home is a good summer shower and a clogged or inefficient gutter and downspout system. Our professionals recommend gutter maintenance at least once every summer as well to keep your home safe from the common issues brought on by clogged gutters.
Winter Maintenance
The cold days of winter may not have falling leaves or pollen-filled blooms, but they do bring plenty of snow, at least in Michigan. Improper roof care can lead to ice dam formation, which brings on a whole different set of problems. Ask your leaf filter contractors about heated gutter liners to help minimize ice dams in the winter and protect your home from the troubles they bring.
