Tips For Maintaining Your Rain Gutters
Keep those gutters working year-round with our top tips!

Your gutters are designed to help direct water away from your roof, siding, and foundation. When in the proper working order, they do so without a hiccup. But when debris, cracks, insects, or holes appear and are left unattended, those purposeful gutters lose their protective power. How do you prevent gutter pains? Be proactive of course!
Tip 1: Clean your gutters. We recommend you opt for both a spring and fall cleaning. If you feel one cleaning session is enough, do a deep clean after the leaves stop dropping in the fall. Cleaning the gutters is time-consuming, so be sure to plan for a few hours from start to finish.
Tip 2: Use gutter cleaning tools. We recommend a gutter scoop and a rag. You’ll need a ladder (and a spotter!) Plus, it’s a good idea to rinse your gutters with the garden hose after cleaning. A little water will wash away any access debris and give you a chance to see if there are any leaks or standing water that should be addressed.
Tip 3: Consider installing gutter guards. At Rainman Seamless Rain Gutters, we offer the Leaf Defier Gutter Protection System —a system that comes with a 25-year warranty and acts as a lid to your gutters. With the Leaf Defier System, the leaves and needles are kept out of your gutters, allowing the wind to remove debris when dry. You’ll still want to clean your gutters annually, but it will likely take you far less cleaning time with a Leaf Defier System installed. Rainman Customer Perk: Our crew offers a complimentary gutter cleaning service with the installation of a Leaf Defier System – Call today for details!
Tip 4: Hire a gutter cleaning service. If you’d rather not tackle the annual project yourself, there are services for hire. If your roof is higher than a single story, you’re likely better off hiring a gutter cleaning crew.
There you have it! To keep those gutters in working order make sure to give them a cleaning at least once a year and consider installing gutter guards if you don’t already have them.
