Spring Gutter Care: Tips to Protect Your Home This Season

Spring is here, bringing sunshine, blooming flowers, and...the perfect time to show your gutters a little love. As snow melts and spring showers roll in, your gutters play a big role in protecting your home from water damage. A little seasonal maintenance can go a long way in avoiding big (and expensive) problems later on.

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered! Here are some easy, effective gutter care tips for spring, plus how our maintenance plan can make it even easier.

Stay ahead of spring storms with our essential gutter maintenance checklist! From clearing debris to ensuring proper drainage, this guide helps protect your home from water damage all season long.

1. Start with a Gutter Inspection

Walk around your home and take a close look at your gutters. Are they securely attached? Any visible cracks, rust spots, or loose joints? Catching these issues early can save you time, money, and stress down the road.

2. Clear Out the Debris

Over the winter, leaves, twigs, and grime can build up and block water flow. Clean out your gutters by hand (ladder and gloves required!) or hire a professional to safely handle the mess for you.

3. Check the Downspouts

Your gutters can’t do their job if the downspouts are clogged. Make sure water flows freely and is directed away from your home’s foundation. A garden hose or plumber’s snake can help clear any clogs.

4. Make Sure They’re Properly Pitched

If you see standing water in your gutters, they may not be sloped correctly. Gutters need a slight tilt toward the downspouts so water can drain efficiently. Small adjustments can make a big difference!

5. Think About Gutter Guards

Want to reduce future cleanups? Gutter guards can help block leaves and debris while still letting water flow. They're a great long-term solution for easier maintenance.
