Maintaining clean gutters is essential for protecting your home from water damage and other potential issues. But how often should you clean your gutters? At House Wash Master, Auckland’s premier house washing service, we recommend a seasonal approach to gutter maintenance.
Spring Cleaning
After the last frost of winter, your gutters could be filled with leaves, twigs, and other debris that have accumulated over the colder months. A thorough cleaning in early spring ensures your gutters are ready to handle the spring rains.
Summer Maintenance
While summer is typically a drier season, it’s a good idea to have your gutters checked, especially if you have overhanging trees that may drop leaves, seeds, or small branches. This is also a good time to have any necessary repairs done, as the dry weather is more conducive for such tasks.
Autumn Attention
Autumn is a critical time for gutter cleaning as falling leaves can quickly clog gutters and downspouts. Depending on the number of trees near your home, you may need to have your gutters cleaned more than once during this season.
Winter Watch
Before winter sets in, a final cleaning and inspection of your gutters can be beneficial. Making sure your gutters are clear can prevent ice dams from forming and causing damage. Plus, an inspection can ensure your gutters are securely fastened and can handle the weight of any snow or ice.
Leave It to the Pros
While it’s possible to clean your gutters yourself, it can be a dangerous and messy job. Plus, a professional service like House Wash Master not only cleans your gutters but also inspects them for any potential problems. Our team is trained to spot early signs of damage and can handle necessary repairs before minor issues become costly problems.
