Seattle’s rainy climate means clogged gutters can happen fast. If left unchecked, blocked gutters can cause water damage to your siding, roof, and foundation. Here are 5 simple, effective tips to keep your gutters clean and your home protected year-round.
Set reminders to book professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year — in spring and fall. This removes debris that builds up during heavy rain and storms.
Consider adding gutter guards to minimize leaves and debris buildup. While they don’t replace cleaning, they reduce how often you need it. Ask your local gutter cleaning service for recommendations.
Maximize home maintenance by pairing gutter cleaning with other exterior services:
Trees close to your roof are a major source of gutter clogs. Trim branches to reduce leaves, needles, and twigs falling into the gutters. This simple step can extend the time between professional cleanings.
When putting up Christmas lights, check your gutters for debris. Many Seattle homeowners combine light installation with a quick gutter check.
Overflowing water, sagging gutters, or plants growing inside the gutter channels are red flags. When you spot these, it’s time to book a thorough window washing and gutter inspection.
Prevent water damage with routine maintenance. For hassle-free service, trust West Seattle Window Cleaner for expert window cleaning services and gutter care.
