Summer is going to be here before you know it, so it is the best time to perform some-well needed maintenance tasks around your home.  Even though you might think you do not have to, right now is the perfect time to take care of your gutters.  If you take care of them now, the less work you will have to do in the fall and the winter.  Luckily, there are a few simple ways to maintain your gutters during the summer.

Clear Debris

When caring for your gutters during the summer, you first need to clear off any debris from the structure.  If you leave debris in your gutters for too long, it can clog the entire structure leading to water damage. Excess debris in your gutters can also be a breeding ground for animals to create a home.  Make sure that you are looking for bird and wasp nests around your gutters as well. All you have to do to clear your gutters of debris is to take a scoop and place the debris in a garbage bag.

Inspect

After your gutters are clear of all debris, it is essential that you inspect for any damage.  Make sure that your gutters are structurally sounds and are attached well to your roof. You need to check for any rusting or rot in your gutters from mildew or mold.  If there is any serious damage, make sure to contact the professionals at Phil DiBello Family Roofing.

Don’t Forget Your Roof

When you are up caring for your roof, make sure to take some time and check your roof as well.  Make sure that all of your shingles are installed well and are not loose. You should check for any leaks or any other types of damage.  Your roof and gutters work together, so you need to make sure both structures are in good shape.
