Keeping Your Gutters Clean in Columbus, Ohio
Cleaning your gutters is probably not on the “Top Ten
Most Fun Things To Do List”, but is necessary in
maintaining your home. Best case scenario, this task can
be done twice a year, in Spring and Fall. When it comes
to cleaning your gutters, you have two choices: take it
on yourself or have it done professionally.
Why? When you look at your house, you may not realize
how important your rain gutters are. Yes, obviously they
direct rain away from your house. But did you stop to
think about why that is important? Water and moisture,
if allowed to collect around your house can do some very
costly damage. Mold, mildew, leaking and damage to your
foundation are all things that can occur if your gutters
aren’t working properly. Cleaning your gutters on a
regular basis can alleviate these potentially costly
home repairs. Wind, rain, snow and foliage can all play
a part in clogging your gutters. When gutters are
clogged, they can overflow, causing the problems
mentioned above.
How? While there are companies that do clean gutters,
you can do this yourself. The way you can do this is to
insert your hose into the downspout of the gutter. You
may need to stuff rags in the opening so that the water
will be forced upward. The water’s force will unclog the
elbows and gutter of the debris that was collecting.
This sounds simple but definitely can be messy and
somewhat of a headache. You can alleviate your headache
and maintain your sanity by hiring a professional to do
it.
Strainers and Guards-Are they worth it? If you’ve done
any research on rain gutters, you’ve probably noticed
that there are some gutter-cleaning accessories
available in stores and online. Strainers and gutter
guards were designed to keep your gutters clean and free
of debris. They sound like a great idea; something to
keep your gutters clean so that when you go to clean
your gutters out, there is potentially less work
involved. Where that may be true, strainers and guards,
which are usually wire or mesh, can also keep water out
of your gutters, which can effect the drainage of your
system. Strainers and guards do work under certain
situations however seek a professional's opinion to see
if they are right for your architecture.
