Each
fall you should clean your gutters to remove all debris. Leaves,
pollen, sticks, even small particles get caught in the gutters and
collect. They start to decompose and become like a sludge and don’t
wash out. When the snow hits in the winter, it sits on top of the
debris and if there long enough, has the tendency to start melting
into the sides of the house.
Gutter guards can slow the debris but still
some gets in. You need to have them removed, cleaned and then put
back. With our New England storms it is important to leave that
whole area clear so the snow and ice can drain out quickly so that
it does not back up into the house.
When the last leaf has fallen give us
a call so we can help you prevent these problems.
