Before Winter Hits: Get Your Mid-Michigan Gutters Ready
Winter is coming... are your gutters ready?
If your gutters look anything like this: packed with leaves, sticks, and debris sitting in the troughs, then it’s time for a pre-winter clean.
It doesn’t take much to clog a gutter.. Especially in Michigan. A few handfuls of leaves can block a downspout, trap water, and turn into ice once the temps drop. That’s when the real problems start.
What clogged gutters can cause
When gutters are logged going into winter, they don’t just stop water flow. They can lead to:
Ice dams: Melted snow can’t drain, refreezes at the roof edge, and pushes water back under your shingles.
Fascia & soffit damage: Heavy, wet debris and ice put extra weight on your gutter system and can pull it away from the house.
Roof leaks: Standing water near your roof line can find its way through under shingles, and into your attic.
Foundation issues: Overflowing gutters send water straight down to your foundation and can contribute to cracks or basement leaks over time.
Expensive spring repairs: By the time you notice the damage in the spring, the repair cost is likely to be a lot higher than a simple cleaning would have been.
Why cleaning before winter matters
Doing a full gutter cleaning in late fall/early winter:
Clears out leaves, sticks, and roof grit before they freeze in place.
Keeps melt-water moving away from your home all winter long.
Protects your roof, fascia, siding, and foundation from unnecessary stress.
Gives you peace of mind when the snow storms roll through.
Our crews clean the gutters out by hand, check your downspouts for clogs, and make sure everything is flowing the way it should.
