Clean your gutters regularly

• When to clean your gutters:

The best time to clean your gutters is when they’re dry. As soon as you notice them getting clogged with leaves or other debris, it’s time for a good cleaning.

• How to clean your gutters:

Use a leaf rake or a small-toothed rake to remove any small particles from the gutter. Then use an extension ladder (or climb on top of your roof) and use a garden hose to wash away large pieces of debris from the gutter spouts and downspouts.

Check your attic for leaks before winter

The first step to prepping your roof for winter is to perform a thorough inspection. Check for leaks, water damage, mold growth, wood rot, and signs of roofing problems. If you're not sure what to look for or how to check for these things yourself, hire a professional roofer.

Trim overhanging trees near the roof line

The overhanging tree is a common problem for homeowners. These branches can cause several problems, including damage to the roofing materials and even leaks into the home. If you have overhanging trees near your roof line, trim them back so that they aren’t touching the eaves or any other part of your home.

Monitor roof from the inside

To get the most out of your roof, you should check it from inside your home. There are a few things to look for:

• Leaks

• Damage

• Wear and tear

• Loose or missing shingles and flashing.

If you have questions about what makes for the best kind of inspection, we've got some answers. First off: why should I get my roof inspected? The answer is simple: it helps keep your home safe from water damage as well as other hazards like mold growth or insect infestation. It also helps protect against expensive repairs down the line (or worse).

Ensure downspouts are clear and direct water away from the house

Downspouts should be directed away from the house to ensure that water does not run up against it. If they are clear of debris and leaves, they will also keep the foundation of your home dry. This is especially important if you live in an area where there is a lot of snowfall during the winter months because snow can melt on your roof and then freeze into ice dams which may cause leaks or other damage to your home's structure.

If you notice any leaks coming from downspouts or gutters, fix them immediately before further damage occurs!
