Are Your Gutters Still Full of Leaves from Last Fall?

When rain comes down, gutters ensure that all the excess water is able to flow away from

your home. If a house didn’t have gutters, water wouldn’t flow away. Instead, it would start

to collect in pools around the home. And if those pools stayed in the same place for too

long, they could cause damage to areas like a home’s foundation.

While gutters are designed to protect houses from having their foundations damaged by

water, gutters are only able to provide that protection if they’re in proper shape. The

simple truth is that gutters which are filled with lots of debris aren’t very useful. In fact, a

gutter that’s still full of leaves and other debris may put a house in the same vulnerable

position as not having any gutters.

You Need Clear Gutters around Your Home

It’s possible for gutters to get completely packed with leaves before any type of debris

becomes noticeable from the ground. Since gutters will start to fill up with leaves during

the fall, it’s up to you to take the initiative to get them cleared out. If you either can’t

remember the last time you cleaned your gutters or know that your gutters haven’t been

cleaned since last fall, it’s time to take advantage of the cooler fall weather and get all of the

leaves out.

When you’re ready to clean out your gutters, you’ll want to get a sturdy ladder, gloves and a

bucket. Be sure that your ladder is in a secure position before climbing up it. Having a

friend or family member hold the ladder can be a very good idea. Once you’ve removed all

the debris and put it in the bucket, you may want to use a hose to finish cleaning out the

gutters.

The Simplest Way to Clean Out Gutters

Although cleaning out your gutters needs to be a priority, we understand that physically

doing this task isn’t something that everyone is able to do. Whether you don’t have the time

or aren’t comfortable going up on a ladder, taking care of this task doesn’t mean you need

to do things on your own.

Instead, you can call Anderson Gutter for prompt and professional service. We’ll be happy

to come out and get your gutters fully cleaned out. Another advantage of enlisting

professional help is we can look for and fix any gutter damage. Additionally, we can provide

gutter protection in the form of leaf filter gutter guards.
