If you’ve lived in Vancouver long enough, you know what fall means: rain, rain, and more rain. While cozy nights indoors are a perk of the season, your roof and gutters are working overtime to protect your home from the rain. One of the best things you can do to prevent costly damage this fall is to make sure your gutters are clean and your roof is ready for the months ahead.
Why Gutters Matter More Than You Think
Gutters aren’t just an add-on to your roof—they’re a critical part of your home’s drainage system. When they’re clogged with leaves and debris, water backs up and can seep into your roof, siding, or even your foundation. In a city known for its heavy rainfall, clogged gutters are one of the top causes of leaks and water damage.
Protect Your Roof From Water Damage
Pooling water on your roof is a recipe for trouble. Clean gutters ensure rainwater flows where it should—away from your home. Without proper drainage, even a small leak can become a major problem once the steady fall downpours begin.
Extend the Life of Your Roof and Home
Regular gutter cleaning doesn’t just protect your roof—it helps preserve your siding, landscaping, and even your basement. By making this a part of your seasonal routine, you are investing in the long-term health of your home.
Don’t Forget About Roof Prep
Gutter cleaning is just one piece of the puzzle. While you’re at it, it’s a good idea to have your roof checked for loose shingles, cracked flashing, and moss growth. These small issues are much easier to handle in the fall than in the middle of a winter storm.
