Gutters play an important role in diverting rainwater away from your roof and the rest of your home, but they can also catch much more than just water, including leaves, pine needles, dirt, and other debris. As the debris builds up inside the gutters, the gutters can become clogged and will need to be cleaned to help them work as efficiently as possible.
Fortunately, you can have gutter guards installed on top of your gutters to protect them and reduce the need for cleaning. However, you will still need to have your gutters cleaned regularly. Here are some tips on how to decide how often you need to clean your gutters with gutter guards.
- Twice a year: Even though the gutter guards will help keep your gutters clean and prevent clogs, you will still need to have your gutters cleaned regularly, though not as often as before. It’s generally recommended that you have your gutters cleaned about twice a year, usually in the spring and fall.
- It will depend on your property: How frequently you clean your gutters, even with the help of gutter guards to protect them, will also depend on your property. If you have lots of trees or birds on the property, you might have to clean the gutters and guards more often.
- Ask the professionals: If you’re still unsure of how often you need to clean your gutters with gutter guards, you can ask a team of professionals like us at Empire Gutters.
