Your home is typically your biggest investment and a 45 minute job early in the fall could prevent thousands of dollars in water damage over the winter. Now that wind has taken most of the leaves from the trees it's time to climb up and clear out your home's gutters. Keeping the eavestrough open maintains the drainage system that takes rainfall and snow melt off the roof and directs it away from the foundation of your home. A back-up of leaves or pine needles could lead to a costly back-up which, combined with ice-dams along the eaves, could send water inside along the roofline or down into the foundation. It's so much simpler to deal with on a warm fall day than to be on the roof chopping at ice in mid-January! |If your home has a history of persistent ice-buildup caused by excessive heat loss you may also benefit from the placement of electrical heating cables along the roofline now. Protect your investment and do it while you can still feel your fingers! |
