Importance of Clean Gutters
At Champion Restoration and Construction, we emphasize the importance of maintaining your home’s exterior, particularly your gutters, to prevent structural damage.
Why Clean Gutters?
Clean gutters:
- Direct precipitation away from the home’s structure
- Prevent damage to siding, basement flooding, and other structural issues
Gutter Maintenance Tips
Regular Cleaning
- Clean gutters biannually, in the fall and spring.
- For homes in heavily wooded areas, clean more frequently.
Gutter Guards
- Install gutter guards to reduce debris accumulation.
- Choose easily cleanable guard systems, as they do not block all debris.
Gutter Longevity
- Gutters can last over 20 years but need regular checks.
- Replace damaged, rusting, or detached gutters.
- Fix minor issues, like leaky seams, with caulking.
Gutter Types
- Sectional Gutters: More prone to leaks near connections.
- Seamless Gutters: Generally more reliable and a better choice for homeowners.
