How to Inspect Your Gutters this Spring
Feb 13, 2020You never know how late into the year it’ll snow, but one thing is for sure: spring is almost officially here.
With this, you can expect more rain to fall in the local area, which can take a toll on your home.
Your gutters, in particular, need to be in good working condition when the rain begins to fall in buckets.
As time and the weather allows, don’t hesitate to inspect your gutters to better understand if they’re in good enough condition to make it another year. Here are some questions to answer:
• How old are your gutters?
• Are they doing their job in regards to moving water away from your home?
• Do you have any reason to believe your gutters are clogged?
• Are they rusting in any areas?
• Are they coming apart in any areas?
• Are they sagging?
After you answer these questions, you’ll have a clear idea of the current condition of your gutters and how to proceed. If you realize that your gutters require attention, call in a professional to check them out. There are times when a repair is all you need. There are also times when they may suggest a new system entirely.
Spring typically brings rain, so make sure your gutters are up to the task.
