We have had some beautiful weather recently and its one of the hottest summers we have had in a long time and it is very easy to spend the summer down the beach, at the pub with friends and holidaying around Europe. However, it may not be your first thought but the summer is a great time to get some house maintenance done that isn’t possible during the winter and one of these chores is cleaning and checking your guttering and fascia’s.
Cleaning your guttering and checking your fascia’s for damage is vital to ensure your pipes don’t get clogged up and water doesn’t start leaking down the side of your property as this can lead to significant damage that can be very costly to repair.
Clean and Undamaged guttering can give you the following benefits –
- Foundation problems can be avoided.
- Flooding under houses can be prevented.
- Water damage can be prevented.
- Water staining on brick and stone masonry can be prevented.
- Cracking of sidewalks, patios and driveways can be reduced.
- Exterior doors and garage doors will be preserved.
During the winter maintaining your gutters is the last thing you want to do but whilst the sun is shining it is the perfect time to spruce them up to avoid any issues in the future or act before it’s too late. If whilst cleaning them you notice any major signs of weathering, cracks or just outright breaks then it is time to replace them.
This will save you a lot of hassle in the future and will mean you will likely never need to replace them again.
