When is the best time to clean my gutters? 

In general, you should try to clean your gutters at least once a year to avoid any problems. 

If you are wondering when the best time to clean your gutters is, the answer depends on a few factors. 

How susceptible your property is to moss build-up, whether there are any trees nearby, and the climate in your area can all play a role in how often you need to clean your gutters. 

Tree debris

If you live in an area with a lot of trees, you may need to clean your gutters more often to prevent leaves and debris from clogging them up. 

The type of trees that surround your home, as well as their shedding patterns, will play a role in how often you need to clean your gutters.

If you live in an area with deciduous trees, you will probably need to clean your gutters at least twice a year – once in the spring and once in the fall.

Coniferous trees can also cause a build-up of needles and other debris in your gutters, so you may need to clean them more often if you live in an area with these types of trees.

Animals

You may also have a lot of birds nesting on your rooftops which can also contribute to the build-up of debris and leaves in your gutters.

Moss

If you live in an area with a lot of moss, you may need to clean your gutters more often to prevent the moss from clogging up your gutters and causing problems.

Moss can grow on roofs and in gutters, and it can be difficult to remove once it has taken hold.

If you have a lot of moss on your property, you may need to clean your gutters more often to prevent it from becoming a problem.

Climate

The climate in your area can also play a role in how often you need to clean your gutters.

Heavy rain can dislodge moss and other debris which might mean that you need to clean gutters more often.

Problems caused by unclean guttering

If you notice that your gutters are beginning to sag or pull away from your roof, this is a sign that they are full of debris and need to be cleaned as soon as possible.

If you let the debris build-up for too long, it can cause damage to your gutters and even cause dampness to penetrate inside the property.

So, if you notice any problems with your gutters, be sure to call a professional gutter cleaning service to come and take care of the problem for you.
