Clean Clear Gutters
Gutters are a must-have for keeping rainwater away from your home. Clean, clear gutters are an essential part of a home's exterior maintenance. Dirty and clogged gutters can cause water damage, create a fire hazard, rot siding and even attract pests.
When was the last time you inspected your gutters? It's easy to forget about them, but it's important to inspect and clean your gutters at least once or twice a year. Here's what to do:
1. Start by clearing out any debris that may have collected in your gutters such as leaves, sticks, and other build up. A trowel or gloved hand would do the trick. Alternatively, you can use a garden blower or leaf vacuum to get rid of the debris.
2. Take a closer look at the gutters to make sure there are no cracks, holes, or loose parts. These need to be fixed before any cleaning can take place.
3. Now it's time to wash away the grime. Soap and water usually do the trick, but for tougher stains, you may need to use a specialized cleaner or even mild bleach.
4. Your gutters should be clear, but don't forget about your roof. This should also be inspected regularly, and any moss or algae buildup should be treated right away.
Having clean and clear gutters is essential for keeping your home in great shape, so don't wait until it's too late to do something about it. We highly recommend inspecting and cleaning your gutters regularly. If you're not comfortable with the job, hire a professional to do it. They'll be able to make sure your gutters are safe and sound.
Inspect Flashing Sealants
If you're like me, inspecting your home's flashing sealants can feel like a daunting task. But it doesn't have to be. Taking the time each year to inspect flashing sealants is an important part of home maintenance, because without properly installed and maintained sealants cracks, gaps, and holes can form in your home.
One of the most commonly overlooked areas to inspect are the gutters. The sealants around the gutter are what help channel the water away from your home. When the sealant fails, water can make its way into your home, causing water damage and the potential for mold to form. To inspect the sealant, look for gaps, cracking, or tears. If any of these signs are present, it's time to replace the sealant.
To replace the sealant, start by cleaning out any debris from the gutter. Next, spread a few inches of sealant over the area where the existing sealant was, making sure to cover all cracks, gaps, and holes. Finally, let it dry and then inspect again to make sure everything is properly sealed.
You may also want to inspect around other areas of the house, such as windows and doors, to make sure the sealant around them is in good condition. Again, look for cracks, gaps, or holes, and patch or replace sealant as needed.
Remember, while inspecting and maintaining sealants may seem like a lot of work, it will pay off in the long run by preventing water damage and helping your home last longer.
