Gutter Maintenance

Important Gutter Maintenance Tips for Homes in Cedar Park, TX & Surrounding Areas

Fall is the perfect time to make your gutters are in good shape. As temperatures cool, leaves fall from the trees and build up in your gutter. This only leads to clogging, which is not only annoying but can also be dangerous because of heavy rainstorms.

There are many things you can do to keep your gutters running properly throughout the year, including keeping them clean and cutting back overgrown trees that could otherwise cause problems. We’ll look at each of these gutter maintenance methods below.

The first thing you should remember before doing any work on your gutter is that if it gets clogged or dirty enough, water will begin pooling on the ground around your foundation instead of draining away properly.

This is more of a problem in the winter when no leaves are falling and the gutters don’t get used regularly, but it can also happen during any season, particularly if your gutter is clogged with pine straw or other debris that isn’t normally present.

The best way to avoid this is to keep your gutters maintained regularly. The easiest way to do this is to use a leaf blower or vacuum for cleaning them out. If you don’t have one of these, you can use a rake instead. Just be careful not to let leaves get caught in the bends in your gutter where they can’t be easily removed.
