How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters? (And Why Seamless Gutters Need Less Maintenance)
Your gutters may not always be top of mind—but they play a major role in protecting your home from water damage, foundation issues, and even pest problems. One of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “How often should I clean my gutters?” Let’s break it down—and show why switching to seamless gutters can cut your maintenance in half.
How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?
Most experts recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall. If your property is surrounded by pine trees, heavy foliage, or prone to storms, you may need to clean them more often.
Clogged gutters can cause:
Water overflow and foundation erosion
Roof leaks and rotting fascia
Mold and mildew buildup
Pest infestations, including mosquitoes and rodents
Regular cleaning prevents these issues, but what if your system didn’t clog as easily in the first place?
Why Seamless Gutters Require Less Maintenance
Unlike sectional gutters with multiple joints and seams (the perfect place for leaves and debris to collect), seamless gutters are custom-made in one continuous piece. Fewer seams = fewer clogs and leaks.
At Blue Ridge Seamless Guttering, we install seamless gutter systems made from top-quality materials backed by a lifetime warranty. Our optional self-cleaning gutter guards add another layer of protection—keeping out leaves, twigs, and buildup with almost no maintenance required—just periodic checks, especially after storms if you have a lot of trees close by.
