How often should you clean gutters with gutter guards?

• <div><p>The kind of gutter guards you have will affect how often you need to clean them. The more basic type of gutter screen requires cleaning once or twice a year. With a micromesh screen, you may be able to extend the time between cleanings to every two years or so.</p><p>However, if you have trees near your roof, you’ll need to clean your gutters more frequently, especially if you have chicken-wire or colander-type gutter guards. If you have pine trees near your roof, you may even need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/seriously-how-often-should-you-clean-gutters.htm">clean your gutters quarterly</a>, as tiny pine needles can get through any type of gutter guard. </p></div>

Is it normal for gutters to overflow in heavy rain?

• <div><p>No—gutters should be designed and properly installed so they are ready to handle any level of rainflow from your roof.

Q: Are underground downspouts worth it?

• <div><p>Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to walk on the roof to clean gutters?

• <div><p>Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe and not recommended due to significant safety risks. It is especially dangerous on steep or slippery roofs, or if the roof is wet or covered in leaves, which increases the chance of a fall. In addition to personal injury, walking on the roof can damage shingles, potentially leading to water leaks. Instead of walking on the roof, use a sturdy ladder positioned on a stable surface to access the gutters. Be aware that using a ladder also carries risks, as it can be difficult to maintain balance while performing the work. You can also use ground-based cleaning tools. For safety reasons and to prevent damage to your roof, hiring a professional to clean your gutters is the best and safest option.</p></div>

Q: Can pros identify and fix downspout problems during cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can spot and rectify downspout issues such as clogs, leaks, or disconnections during cleaning. They ensure proper water flow, protecting the building's foundation and preventing water damage or erosion.</p></div>
