Seattle winters bring heavy rain, wind, and debris that can clog your gutters fast. If your gutters aren’t ready, you risk leaks, ice dams, and costly water damage. Follow these 5 simple steps to prepare your gutters for winter — and keep your home protected.
Before winter hits, book a professional gutter cleaning to remove leaves, pine needles, and debris. This ensures water can flow freely during heavy storms.
Check for cracks, sagging sections, or loose brackets. Small issues can turn into big problems in winter weather. A professional roof cleaning service often includes an inspection that spots these problems early.
Install gutter guards to help keep debris out during stormy months. This won’t eliminate cleaning altogether but will reduce blockages. Combine this with regular pressure washing to clear moss from your roof and siding.
Overhanging branches drop leaves directly into your gutters. Trim them back to prevent extra buildup and reduce the need for frequent cleanings. This works best when paired with seasonal window washing to clear dirt and streaks from your windows.
Many homeowners install Christmas lights in winter. Make sure lights are securely fastened and don’t block water flow. Use this time to inspect gutters for debris one last time.
A clear view and clean exterior make your home look its best during the darker winter months. Combine your gutter prep with a window cleaning service for maximum curb appeal.
