It’s that time of year again where Floridians are busy preparing their homes for the hurricane season. Part of that preparation should include making sure your gutters are clean and in good working condition.

Cleaning your gutters is important for a number of reasons.

• First, it helps to prevent water damage to your home. Water can build up in your gutters and cause them to overflow, which can damage your foundation, siding, and landscaping.
  
  
• Second, it helps to prevent ice dams from forming in the winter. Ice dams can cause serious damage to your roof and gutters.
  
  
• Gutters play an important role in protecting your home from water damage, so it’s important to keep your gutters clean and well maintained.
  
  

There are a few things you can do to clean and maintain your gutters in North Florida:

• Inspect your gutters regularly and remove any debris that has accumulated.
  
  
• If you have any leaks, make sure to repair them as soon as possible.
