Clean Your Gutters and Roof Valleys

It’s spring time in Texas which means the rainy season is upon us! 

These simple steps can keep your rain gutters clean and free flowing! 

Why: Mucked-up gutters and roof valleys can caused water to back up and potentially enter your home via the foundation, roof or crawl space … or even freeze inside your gutters and wreck them altogether.
How: Grab a sturdy ladder and take a peek. Use gloved hands or even a trowel to remove debris from gutters before flushing them with a garden hose to make sure there aren’t any hidden clogs. 
Remove debris on the roof by hand and check out the flashing while you’re up there to make sure it’s free of rust and holes.
When: Every spring and fall or even three times annually if you live in a wooded area.
