Maintenance Tips

Quick advice from our team to help you protect your home between service visits.

1

Clean gutters twice a year

Spring and fall cleanings prevent clogs, overflow, and foundation damage. Kentuckiana's heavy leaf season makes fall especially important.

2

Check downspout extensions

Make sure water is directed at least 4–6 feet away from your foundation. Short or missing extensions are a leading cause of basement moisture.

3

Inspect after heavy storms

High winds and ice can pull gutters away from fascia. A quick visual check after major weather events can catch small problems before they become costly repairs.

4

Look for sagging or separation

Gutters that sag or pull away from the roofline won't drain properly. This is usually a sign of loose hangers or rotted fascia that needs attention.

5

Keep screen room mesh clear

Rinse screen panels with a garden hose seasonally to remove pollen, dust, and debris. Avoid pressure washing, which can stretch or tear the mesh.

6

Watch for rust or staining

Dark streaks on siding below gutters often indicate overflow or a leak at a seam. Catching this early prevents wood rot and paint damage.
