\"gutters-winter\"<\/p>\n

Many homeowners are unaware of the importance of maintaining their gutters<\/a> as the seasons change. If you ignore them, your gutters can fill with leaves and debris, causing water to overflow onto your roof and gather around your home\u2019s foundation.<\/p>\n

To avoid costly damages, it\u2019s important to inspect and clean your gutters so water can flow freely. According to Steve Becker of National Home Improvement, Inc., this is a critical step to protecting your biggest investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people underestimate just how damaging clogged gutters can be,\u201d Becker said. \u201cLeaves and debris can cause water to back up and overflow. This can damage shingles and promote wood rot. If the water overflows onto the ground, it can impact the foundation and compromise the structural integrity of a home.\u201d<\/p>\n

When water makes its way beneath a home\u2019s foundation, it causes the soil to expand and eventually contract when things dry out. This can cause the concrete to sink and crack, resulting in thousands of dollars in repair costs that could have been avoided with some routine gutter maintenance.<\/p>\n

Clogged gutters can also promote the development of ice dams, which cause even more water to overflow and pool around a home\u2019s foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIce dams form when you have poor attic ventilation, insufficient attic insulation, clogged gutters or some combination of the three,\u201d said Becker. \u201cIce dams can tear off your gutters, loosen shingles, cause water to back up beneath the shingles and drain into your home. They also increase the likelihood that water will pool around your foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

With all this in mind, it\u2019s important to properly prepare your gutters for the colder months after trees have shed their leaves and before temperatures drop below freezing. This means cleaning your gutters to make sure water can easily flow toward downspouts. It also means checking downspouts to make sure they aren\u2019t clogged with debris.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good idea to climb a ladder and use a garden hose to force water through your downspout,\u201d said Becker. \u201cIf you notice it begins to pool up or trickle out weakly, you probably have a clog that will need to be removed. Even if your gutters are perfectly clean, water will pool up and spill out if it can\u2019t make its way through your downspouts.\u201d<\/p>\n

While you\u2019re cleaning your gutters, you should inspect every inch to make sure they are not sagging or separating from the house in any way. You should also trim branches away from your gutters and roof to keep leaves, branches and debris from dropping into your gutters. You should also make sure your gutters are properly aligned to prevent standing water from gathering.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not fully comfortable with heights or are too busy, the best way to prepare your gutters for fall and winter is to hire a professional.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessionals can safely inspect, clean and secure your gutters to make sure your home is protected from water damage,\u201d said Becker. \u201cThey can even install gutter guards which help keep leaves and debris out of gutters and dramatically reduce your maintenance requirements. They can also install downspout extensions, which can help prevent any damage to your home\u2019s foundation caused by melting snow and ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether you choose to hire a professional or tackle the job yourself, it\u2019s vital that you make sure your gutters are free of debris and properly positioned around your home. If you ignore this important duty, you could end up with serious damage to your roof and foundation, which can both cost thousands of dollars to repair.<\/p>\n
