Rain Gutters by the Season – SUMMER

Summer is our busy season!
And we are always on the move!

rig2There’s a trick to home renovations, and the trick is that you need to think about renovations during the season when you don’t need to use the renovation. Rain gutters are an excellent example of this. Summer is the best time to do your home improvement projects because it is dry and the days are loooooong

During the summer, some of the signs that you need to replace your existing rain gutter system are the same as they are in the spring. However, summer comes with the addition of another pesky problem: mosquitoes. As you move into the summer months, an overabundance of these insects can also point to gutter troubles due to poor water drainage that leads to water pooling in your gutters – which attracts these insects.

During the latter part of the summer, another sign that you need to repair or replace your existing rain gutter system or simply add a gutter screen to your rain gutters is the presence of animals in your gutters. If the gutters accumulate leaves and debris, some insects and animals may choose to nest there. As a result, you could have an abundance of wasps around your home, for example. This can be dangerous to you and your summer guests.

Summer is a great time to install a new seamless rain gutter system or add gutter screens to your existing well-functioning gutter system. Renovating your home during the dry season will help you prepare for the wet, leafy fall weather.

Rain Gutters by the Season – SPRING

SPRINGTIME IS FOR GUTTERS!

And if your rain gutters look like the picture below, action is needed to save yourself money and headaches down the road.

sagging gutters

Your gutters are leaking. You hear them dripping every night as you go to bed, and when you wake up on cold winter days, icicles have formed where you don’t want to see any icicles at all. You really don’t want to pursue a home renovation right now. Should you postpone it, or should you leap into action? What is the best time to install a new seamless gutter system?

What will you notice in the spring if your home is ready for a new seamless gutter system or maybe simply a gutter screen? You may notice some of the following issues:

  • Your rain gutters are sagging due to the weight of the snow in the winter. The brackets have become loose and the angle or pitch of the rain gutter is off;
  • If you have sectional rain gutters, they may have spread apart at the seams and are leaking there. The weight of debris and snow and rain has been too much for them;
  • Water is leaking down over the front of the gutters. They are clogged with debris or may be sitting at the wrong angle, so debris has collected in the gutters. This can lead to foundation and siding damage if it is not corrected;
  • Debris has accumulated at the downspout entrance. There is just too much material in the gutter from fall leaves, winter storms, or new spring blossoms.

Should you install new gutters in the spring? If you notice that your gutters have been damaged during the winter, their angle or pitch is off, or water is pouring from the gutters, the answer is certainly yes! You can also install a gutter screen to prevent the gutters from filling up with blossoms, pollen, and other spring debris.
