Your gutters collect all the things that fall off your roof including leaves, sticks, and other debris. This causes buildups and other issues with your gutters that can result in expensive repairs. Cleaning out your gutters regularly will help allow the flow of water that falls from the roof to be transported away from your home. At this point, you may be asking: "How often should I clean my gutters?" This is an important question. It is recommended that you clean your gutters at least twice a year. Once in the spring and once in the fall are the optimal times to clear out your gutters.
