Fall Gutter Maintenance and Why It’s Important

Cleaning your gutters can be an easily overlooked fall chore, but can greatly impact the structure of your home over time and can greatly lower maintenance costs in the long run. At Anderson Insulation, the top priority on our list of fall cleaning chores is to make sure your gutters are in good condition for the approaching winter season. Gutters are designed to keep water away from the roof of your home and carry it away from the foundation through the downspouts you see on the exterior of your home.

Prevent Water Damage

One of the most obvious reasons why you should keep up with gutter maintenance is to prevent water damage. Without clear gutters to allow for proper flow of rainwater, the water can then overflow which will result in the damaged roof over time. Inevitably, this will then result in more repair costs in the long run. Visit our gutter services page to learn more about why it is important to keep your gutters in great condition!

Protect Your Homes Foundation

Having to deal with foundation maintenance and making sure the structure of your home is strong can be a huge feat to take on, especially for new homeowners. Choosing the right and easier option of maintaining your gutters throughout the seasons will prevent water from seeping into the foundation of your home. This will result in lower maintenance costs when it comes to your home’s structure. 

Pest Control

An often-overlooked reason to clean your gutters is to prevent pests from building their home along the exterior of your home. The accumulation of debris and leaves creates a nice cozy place for pests to cuddle up for the colder New England seasons. Ridding your gutters of debris and making sure they are clean going into the winter will ensure that no pests have decided to make your gutters their home. Contact us today for a site visit!
