-Cleaning Frequency-
Home Renovation Guide States:
"Clean your gutters often. One of the biggest problems found when roofs leak or basements overflow is the fact that people have neglected their gutters.
"Leaves, dirt and small branches clog up eaves, troughs and downspouts, which prevents water from flowing through them. This build-up tends to overflow, often damaging a person's home."
-Mosquito Problems-
HRHC Advises Homeowners on preventing mosquito breeding:
"Clogged gutters hold a lot of organic matter and water. Keep gutters clean so that water flows freely through them.
Trim back tree limbs which hang over your roof to prevent leaves and twigs from falling into your gutters.
Be sure that the water that flows out of your downspout does not pool around the base of your house.
Do what is best to protect...
