Winter is just around the corner… Is your gutter system ready for the rain? Properly maintained gutters can make all the difference when those heavy downpours hit. Here are some simple steps to get your spouting winter-ready:
1️⃣ Clear out the debris: Leaves, twigs, and other build-up can block water flow, leading to overflows and potential damage.
2️⃣ Check for cracks or sagging: Even a small crack can turn into a big problem when the rain sets in.
3️⃣ Inspect your downpipes: Make sure water is draining properly and not pooling around your foundation.
4️⃣ Look for signs of rust or corrosion: These can weaken your guttering over time—better to catch it early.
5️⃣ Secure any loose sections: If the wind picks up, you don’t want your spouting flying off!
💡 Thinking about upgrading from internal to external spouting? It’s a smart move for both the look and the longevity of your home. External gutters not only improve drainage, they also give your home a cleaner finish and help avoid water damage caused by hidden failures.
