If you are a homeowner, then you know your eavestroughs are an important part of your roofing system. By moving water away from your roof and your home, they add valuable protection against the elements all year long. But what if your gutters seem to be more work than you anticipated, or you’ve gradually noticed that they don’t do as good of a job as they once used to? Here are a few ways you can make your eavestroughs work for you.
- Keep Them Clean – The most important thing you can do to protect your eavestroughs is to keep them clean. While this routine task is often something that remains low on the priority list, keeping your gutters free of leaves and debris will make them more functional for a longer period of time.
- Leaf Guard – If you hate cleaning leaves out of your gutter system, then adding a leaf guard is a great way to protect your eavestroughs and ensure that they remain fully functional. In fact, a leaf guard could extend the life of your eavestroughs and your roof by preventing damage to this important system.
- Repair & Replace – Another important aspect of maintaining your eavestroughs is to repair and replace them when it’s necessary. If your eavestroughs aren’t working as efficiently or effectively as they should, you will notice that your home and your landscape suffer the consequences.
Calling in a professional to assess your eavestroughs and provide recommendations is a great way to ensure that this important system serves you well. Reach out to your roofing professional today!
