You’ve made it through the worst of gutter season -- or so you thought. While you may be done worrying about leaf buildup and ice dams, you’re not completely off the hook for summer gutter maintenance, and here’s why.

Falling Foliage - You may be thinking -- isn’t that only in autumn? Well, while it’s definitely more common to see clogs when trees are shedding their leaves completely, we certainly still see some foliage clogs during the summer. Think about those beautiful blossoms that are popping up and floating down everywhere, and the polynoses propelling down from the trees -- all gutter hazards!

Heavy Rain - Let’s face it, summer is jam-packed with humidity, and while we’d love for the sun to be shining every day, thunderstorms are inevitable. That being said, rains can be pretty heavy in the summer, which can be damaging to a gutter system not equipped to handle so much rainfall.

Mold Growth - Fallen foliage and heavy rain, plus the hot summer sun? Mold is sure to follow suit. Be careful to keep your gutters clear of debris to deter bacteria and mold growth from taking over. Remember, if mold can grow on your home’s exterior, it will eventually find its way inside too.

Maybe you’ve got a ton of trees in your yard depositing pollen and polynoses into your gutters, or maybe you’ve noticed your system has taken quite the beating from recent spring showers. Whatever the case may be, All Aluminum Gutters is your one stop shop for all your gutter cleaning, gutter repair and gutter installation needs!
