Autumn is coming, and so are those pesky leaves! Make sure your gutter system is ready to handle the change in season with these simple steps:

Wipe them down.
Don’t wait for your gutters to fill up with falling leaves. Allowing them to head into the most difficult season with a fresh, clean start can prevent future clogs from occurring. Take this time to clean them out once last time before the sunny summer weather starts to disappear. Trust us, gutter cleaning is much easier when the weather cooperates!

Fix any minor repairs.
You want your gutters to take on the fall full force, so that means they’ll need to be in complete working condition. Taking the time to fix the tiniest leak or just one loose bracket can make all the difference in the long run. Look for leaking, sagging and corrosion as you inspect and clean.

Trim your trees now.
Before the leaves begin to fall, it’s a good idea to have your local tree-trimmer pay your yard a visit. Not only will trimming back unruly branches minimize the leaves that will land in your gutters, but it will make raking and yard work a whole lot easier this autumn!

Install gutter guards.
If you’re looking to provide your home with the best possible protection for the fall, gutter guards are it. Installing them over your gutters helps keep leaves out, but still allows water to flow in through a filter. This eliminates clogs and makes gutter cleaning as easy as an occasional spray of the garden hose to wash the residual leaves away.

Are you gutters ready for fall? Whether they could use a good cleaning, some repairs, or if you’re interested in purchasing gutter guards and live on Long Island or in the surrounding areas, All Aluminum Gutters is here to help with all three!
