To all home and property owners who have got gutters installed on their roofs we have got a question for you. Do you regularly inspect and clean your gutters during the rainy season?
Cleaning your gutters before the rain comes is very important but it is also essential that you keep on regularly cleaning your gutters for maximum performance.
Here is a routine you could follow to make sure that your gutters protect your house or building during the rainy season:
1 The first thing you should do before the rain comes is to make sure that all your gutters are clean and secure. Do all necessary repairs before the rain falls.
2 When the rain comes for the first time, try to check if they are collecting rain water from the roof with non-overflowing from the gutter pathway and also check for any leaks. If it is possible, try to check this when it is raining.
3 After it has rained inspect your gutters to see if any debris or leaves have been caught in your gutters. If there are any, you must immediately clean them as the dirt, debris or leaves may lead to water clogging which can impede the gutters from achieving their purpose.
4 When the rain has stopped, also check for any loose screws or sagging gutters. If there are any loose or sagging gutters, you can contact professionals to fix this problem for you.
You can always follow this routine to take care of your gutters during the rainy season and they will in turn protect your house from the rain.
