How to Extend the Life of Your Gutters With Simple Maintenance

Easy Tips to Protect Your Home’s Foundation and Exterior

Gutters may not be the first thing you think about when protecting your home, but they’re one of the most important. Without them, rainwater damages siding, landscaping, and even your foundation.

Here are a few simple ways to keep your gutters working for years to come.

✅ Clean Twice a Year

Spring and fall are the best times to clear out leaves, twigs, and debris. This prevents clogs and overflows.

✅ Check for Sagging

If gutters are pulling away from the fascia, water will spill over instead of draining properly.

✅ Seal Small Leaks Early

A little seam leak today can become a major problem tomorrow.

✅ Consider Gutter Guards

They reduce clogs and make maintenance easier, especially if your home has surrounding trees.

Final Thoughts

Taking care of your gutters is one of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to protect your home’s structure.
