Gutter Maintenance and Leaf Filters

Your gutters and downspouts should be inspected and cleaned in the Fall and again in the Spring.  If you have lots of trees, you may need to do this more often.  Leaf filters can prevent your gutters and downspouts from clogging.

Remove any leaf debris and sediment using a gutter scoop or trowel.  Flush out the gutter and downspouts with a garden hose and be sure the water is flowing freely through the system.

The end caps, miters (corners) and downspout outlets should be checked for leaks and re-sealed as needed.
