Gutters may seem like they aren’t that important. After all, all they do is redirect rainwater, right? That couldn’t be that important, could it? Yes, it could! Gutters are so vital to protecting your home’s roof, walls, foundation, and landscape. Keeping your gutters clean is so simple with this guide. We will tell you all about why keeping your gutters clear is so important near Lexington, Kentucky and even offer some great solutions to help.
If you allow your gutters to collect leaves and other material, they can get clogged, which can lead to many problems, including a leaky roof and water damage on both the exterior and interior parts of your home. Not only that but clogged up gutters are the perfect homes for pests, rodents, mold, and even wasps’ nests, none of which you want residing in your home with you. With all the damage that can be caused by clogged gutters, you may be looking at hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars’ worth of damage. No one wants to deal with that. By regularly maintaining your gutters, you can avoid these disasters.
We highly recommend that you pay special attention to your gutters in the Spring and the Fall when leaves fall and maple trees let off their helicopter seeds. How often you clean out your gutters is typically dependent on how many trees you have in your yard.
You should also be sure to have someone clean your downspouts to ensure that those don’t become clogged. They can be harder to clean by yourself.
A fantastic solution that we offer is our clog-free gutters. These gutters allow you to avoid the maintenance typically required of gutters. These gutters feature a unique design that mimics the look of crown molding, so they won’t even distract from your home’s appearance. They even feature a water-tight seal which protects your home even further.
While you can choose to simply install gutter guards, those typically don’t keep all debris out, so you will still have to spend some time on a tall, dangerous ladder cleaning out your gutters every now and then. It just won’t be as often. With our clog-free gutter system, though, you can expect to basically never have to clean out your gutters. We absolutely love these gutters and are proud to be able to offer them in the Lexington area.
