1:5:10:270 EcoTip: It’s the time of year to evaluate your gutters to be sure they are in good repair. By fixing them now – they will be ready for the fall leaves and rains or winter snow.
***********************************
Additional Information:
- Clean gutters and downspouts of any accumulated debris.
- Check for rust and deterioration of the finish and make sure they are affixed tightly against the fascia boards.
- The fascia boards should also be inspected for dry rot or damage.
- Add some water to be sure the gutters drain and there are no leaks.
- Add splash blocks and make sure the gutters drain away from the foundation.
