So you’ve put gutter guards on your house and you’re thinking you’ll never need to clean your gutters again huh? The truth is gutter guards help A TON when protecting the health of your overall gutters and keeping them properly working. However, it is still common for bugs, debris, and other miscellaneous things to slip through the cracks of your gutter guards. Tomms recommends to do a once a year clean on your gutters even if you have gutter guards. That way you’re ensuring that the health of your gutters remains intact.
Now what if I don’t have gutter guards? Most people don’t and that’s ok too. We recommend at least twice a year to get your gutters cleaned if that’s the case. Without guards, you’re much more likely to have debris, bugs, and any other pests get stuck in your gutters. It’s important to the overall health of your gutters to make sure they’re being cleaned properly. You may need to look into getting your gutters cleaned more frequently if you’re in a neighborhood like Minneap0lis or St. Paul and your home is surrounded by those big, beautiful trees. At Tomms, we’ve noticed that it’s more common for homeowners to get their gutters cleaned more frequently if trees are towering over their homes. So whether you’re surrounded by old trees in Minnetonka or Minneapolis, be aware of your home’s surroundings and take you’re taking the necessary steps to ensure your gutters are staying free and clear of any rubbish.
While this scenario is rare and only happens once every 15-20 years, we do recommend replacing your gutters if there is wear and tear to them. Especially if it’s been in that 15-20 year time frame.
