A simple seasonal task that protects your roof, siding, and foundation.
Gutters aren’t the most glamorous part of your home, but they’re one of the most important. When they’re clear, they quietly do their job—directing rainwater away from your house. But when they’re clogged with leaves, sticks, and debris, they can cause leaks, water damage, and even foundation problems.
So when should you clean your gutters? Let’s break it down.
The Best Times of Year to Clean Your Gutters
For most homes in Kent and Queen Anne’s County, gutter cleaning should happen at least twice a year:
- Spring: After winter storms, gutters often fill with leftover debris and grit from shingles. A spring cleaning ensures they’re ready for heavy spring rain.
- Fall: This is the big one. Once the trees have dropped their leaves (typically late October or early November), it’s time for a thorough clean before winter.
If your home has a lot of nearby trees—or you notice overflow during heavy rain—you may need an extra mid-summer cleaning to stay ahead of buildup.
What Happens If You Skip It
Clogged gutters don’t just look bad. They can:
- Cause water to back up under your roof shingles
- Lead to fascia board rot and wood damage
- Create standing water near your foundation
- Attract pests and nesting insects
Regular cleaning protects your home and helps prevent costly repairs later.
