Gutter Maintenance Tips

At JT’s West Coast Gutter & Roofing, we take pride in providing top-notch gutter solutions for your home. Proper maintenance of your new gutters is essential to make sure they function correctly – and protect your property from water damage. Here are some gutter maintenance tips to keep your gutters in top condition for years to come:

Regular Cleaning: Leaves, debris, and dirt can accumulate in your gutters over time, leading to clogs and water overflow. We recommend scheduling regular gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall when leaves are more likely to clog the gutters. 

Inspect for Damage: Routinely inspect your gutters for any signs of damage, such as cracks, holes, or sagging sections – especially after heavy snowfall or wind. Address these issues promptly to prevent water leakage and potential structural damage. Our gutters are made from durable materials, but even the strongest gutters can be affected by extreme weather conditions or accidental impacts.

Ensure Proper Pitch and Alignment: Gutters must be correctly pitched towards the downspouts to allow proper water flow. Check for any misalignments or sagging, as these can lead to water pooling and potential damage to your gutter system. If you notice any alignment issues, don’t hesitate to contact our team of professionals to adjust them for you.

Install Gutter Guards: Consider installing gutter guards or leaf screens to reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutters. Gutter guards can be especially beneficial if you have many trees around your property. They help prevent clogs and reduce the frequency of cleaning, saving you time and effort.

By following these simple maintenance tips, you can extend the lifespan of your gutters and make sure they effectively protect your home from water damage. At JT’s West Coast Gutter & Roofing, we are dedicated to providing high-quality gutters and excellent customer service.
