Aside from twice-yearly cleaning, conducting minor repairs is the best thing you can do to maintain the life of your gutters, and the safety of your home. We're not talking about anything crazy here.
Tighten mounting brackets, and ensure proper slope. Replace severely dented gutter or downspout sections. Ensure proper, water-tight connections between gutters and downspouts. These steps may seem annoying, but can save you thousands of dollars in complete replacement costs, or worse - repair bills associated with water damage. Luckily, we come equipped to identify, assess, and complete all of these repairs - and will do so through the course of our routine cleanings. That's one reason having the professionals out is a good call - we do more than just clean during our visits. Preventative maintenance comes between cleaning and repairs, and it's a step you can easily complete for a low price tag. Check out our article here on preventative maintenance. Regardless, have us out if you see any signs of damage - the sooner the better if storm clouds are looming on the horizon, and rain, hail, and snow are in the forecast. We'll take care of the problem quickly, so it doesn't become a bigger issue. |
