When you want to avoid water damage in your home, one of the most important things to do is to clean out your gutters and downspouts. Taking this action will also protect your home’s exterior by ensuring that water flows properly off of your roof.

The experts at Zinks make sure that your downspouts have proper drainage in order to keep water away from your home. If you plan on cleaning your gutters on your own, there are a few steps you should follow to ensure a complete job. You can either scoop and drop any debris onto the ground, or bring a bucket with you for a cleaner experience. After the larger pieces of debris have been removed, you should thoroughly rinse your gutter to make sure no unsightly debris has been left behind. Once cleaning has been completed, check your gutters to make sure there are no dents, cracks, or other signs of damage.

Your gutters and downspouts should be cleaned and examined every two years.
