Water is one of nature's most destructive forces, which is why it’s so important to have a fully-functioning gutter system on your home. Does the thought of a soggy, waterlogged landscape, water damaged or peeling siding, and a potentially flooded basement scare you? If so, here are a few ways to make sure that your gutter system is in great shape in order to ensure that water is safely dispersed as far from your home as possible.
1. Keep gutters clean. An annual or semi-annual gutter cleaning regimen will keep your gutters clear of debris so water can flow freely through the system.
2. Use an extension. An elbow piece can be attached to the end of your downspout in order to accommodate an extension, used to carry water even further from your home’s foundation.
3. Secure a slope. If your downspout directs water towards a splash block, make sure that the splash block and ground slope away from your home for optional water diversion.
4. Stay away from pavement. Water should be redirected away from the home, but no where near a driveway or sidewalk. During winter, water can freeze, causing cracks in the cement.
5. Dig a trench. For maximum protection, dig a trench and insert a PVC pipe, attaching it to the downspout. This is a great way to carry water far, without sacrificing the aesthetics of your yard.
With the wet weather rapidly approaching, now is the time to inspect your gutters and correct any drainage issues you find. While gutter maintenance and repair can be handled as a DIY project, it’s always best to consult a professional to make sure that any issues are resolved quickly and efficiently for maximum protection against the elements.
