Home Maintenance Tips: Clean Your Gutters
September 12, 2024
If you neglect you gutters and your home is damaged as a result, your homeowners insurance won’t cover the damage.
Regularly clean your gutters to:
- Prevent Roof, sliding and foundation damage caused by water overflow
- Discourage pests from moving in
- Protect your landscaping
- Prevent your basement from flooding
- Keep your gutters in place
- Reduce the risk of ice dams
To safely clean your gutters, you’ll need:
- An extension ladder
- A standoff stabilizer
- A dust mask
- A tarp or ladder utility bucket
- Googles
- Gloves
- Non-skid shoes
