Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, you should clean your gutters before the heavy spring storms begin. Throughout the fall and winter, gutters tend to collect leaves, debris, and even ice buildup. If they are not cleared out ahead of spring rains, water cannot flow properly through the system.

When gutters are clogged, water overflows and pools around your foundation, which increases the risk of basement leaks and structural damage. It can also back up onto your roof, contributing to leaks and wood rot.

That said, it is also a good idea to check them again after major storms. Debris can accumulate quickly, especially during windy conditions. Keeping your gutters clean and functional is one of the simplest but most effective ways to protect your home from water damage.
