Why Year-Round Gutter Maintenance Is Important

Gutters are important as they save your home exterior and landscaping from the damaging effects of water. Twice a year maintenance may not be enough to ensure the efficiency of your gutters. The job is best left to a professional like a roofer to prevent accidents and damage to your roofing.

Below are reasons you should mind your gutters throughout the year.

Old Gutters

Outdated gutters are made up of segment secured together at seams and attached to the fascia with screws. Seams and openings collect water that can cause mold growth that can reach the fascia and roof. Avoid damage to your home’s structure and risking your family’s health by inspecting older gutters four to six times yearly.

Summer Cleaning

In the spring, trees produce pollen, seedpods and pollen tassels into the gutters. These will eventually settle in the gutters and cause clogging. Keep clogs and allergies at bay by cleaning your gutters in the summer.

Harsh Weather

Contact your roofing contractor for an inspection after an extreme weather event. Rain, hail, or windstorms can bring leaves, twigs, or tree branches into gutters. They can decompose and attract pests or block normal water flow.

Forceful Water Flow

Your gutters might not be able to handle the rate of water flow if you live in an area that’s more prone to storms or have a steeper roof. Excess runoff from the roof can damage your decking, patio and your home’s foundation. Consider quarterly gutter inspection or investing in higher-capacity gutters.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
