With the arrival of Spring, it’s a great time to perform a gutter
audit. There are any number of things that can cause drainage issues,
and it’s important to catch them early.
Are your gutters clogged?
Take time to clear them, top to bottom, and run water through them to be
sure they’re not blocked. A lot of debris could have built up
throughout the Winter, and Spring will likely bring even more.
As
you run water through to test for gutter blockages, it’s also a good
time to check for leaks. As water runs through the gutter, check all
sides to be sure there are no leaks. Now is the time to find and solve a
problem like that before it’s too late. Pay particular attention to any
water that is getting behind your gutter and against the fascia.
Are
your downspouts pointing correctly, and directing water away from your
home? Improper placement can result in basement leaks and/or siding
damage. Don’t forget, these can get clogged too, and cause problems if
water is allowed to pool near your foundation.
Lastly, take note
of the types of trees you (and your close neighbors) have, and remember
to keep an eye on them as they shed items onto your roof. Certain trees
can be a nuisance, and are worth keeping an eye on!
