Fall is around the corner!

The days are getting cooler, the leaves will soon be starting to change, and before long, those same leaves will be falling right into your gutters. 🍂

While it’s a season we all love, it’s also one of the most important times to give your eavestroughs a little extra attention. Think of your eavestroughs as your roof’s best friend—they’ve got its back when the weather gets rough. Here’s why you’ll want to make sure they’re ready before fall really kicks in.

Eavestrough Keep Water Away From Your Roof

When gutters are clear and working properly, they guide rain and melting snow away from your roof. That means less chance of leaks, rotting wood, or water sneaking into your home. Without them? Your roof ends up taking the hit.

They Protect Your Basement, Too

It’s not just your roof that benefits. When eavestroughs overflow, water pools around your foundation—and that can lead to basement flooding. No one wants to deal with that in the middle of a rainy fall.

They Stop Ice Dams Before They Happen

Here’s the big one: clogged gutters in the fall can turn into frozen blockages in the winter. That creates heavy ice dams on your roof, which can cause serious damage. A little cleaning now means a lot fewer headaches later.

They Save You From Costly Repairs

Roof repairs, foundation cracks, and water damage aren’t cheap. Regular gutter maintenance is a simple, budget-friendly way to avoid all those big repair bills.

Get Ready Before the Leaves Fall 🍁

Fall is the best time to get your eavestroughs cleaned and checked before all that debris piles up. A quick service now can save you from major headaches (and expenses) down the road.
