Chicago Roofing Contractor Provides Gutter Tips

By Kurt Saniel


When you need a new roof, your Chicago roofing contractor gives you excellent service. However, your local roofers are also there with exceptional guttering service too. Here are some helpful tips for keeping your gutters in good shape, and protecting your home.

All kinds of things can end up on your roof, and eventually into the gutters. Inspect your gutters every season if possible. You cannot see inside gutters from the ground, so you need to use a ladder for the job. Remove all debris and flush the gutters out completely to make sure they are totally clean.

In warm weather, you can check your gutters with a garden hose. This can easily be done as you clean you outdoor air conditioning coils. As you shoot water onto the roof, note how water drains in and out of the gutter system. Make sure water is flowing out of all the downspouts, and that gutters are not overflowing or leaking. Leaks can cause wet basements and foundation issues.

Guttering screens are a great way to limit the amount of work you have to do. They will keep out most debris. Yet, screens can sometimes become clogged, depending on what types of trees are nearby. Check your screens every now and then to be sure they are working properly.

If you need new gutters, you may try to install them yourself. However, installing gutters can be very hard work. You will be working high up in the air and gutters need to be installed so they provide proper drainage and have no chance of leaking.

The best way to install new guttering is to have your Chicago roofing contractor take care of it. This will give you trouble free guttering for many years to come. Once you call your roofers, someone will be at your house to provide you with a free estimate, and it may not cost as much as you thought.
