When to Clean Your Gutters in Lakeway (and Why It Matters)
Clogged gutters don’t just look bad—they cause real damage. In Lakeway, heavy oak pollen in spring and falling leaves in autumn make gutters prone to overflowing. Left untreated, water damage can affect fascia boards, siding, and even your foundation.
How Often Should You Clean Gutters?
Most Lakeway homes benefit from two cleanings per year—once after oak pollen drop in spring and once in late fall. Homes under heavy tree cover may need quarterly cleanings to stay clear.
- Spring: Clear pollen buildup and seeds.
- Fall: Remove leaves and acorns before winter rains.
- Heavy tree cover: Consider quarterly service for oaks and evergreens.
Why Cleaning Matters
- Prevent fascia and soffit rot from standing water
- Protect your foundation from pooling and erosion
- Reduce pest problems (mosquitoes, termites, rodents)
- Keep gutters and downspouts flowing freely
Best Practices for Lakeway Homes
- Check gutters during heavy storms to spot overflow.
- Inspect seams, hangers, and slope for sagging sections.
- Add downspout extensions to direct water away from foundations.
- Combine gutter cleaning with house washing for complete exterior maintenance.
FAQs
Do gutter guards eliminate the need for cleaning?
No. Gutter guards reduce debris but don’t eliminate cleaning. Lakeway homes still need inspections and occasional flushes to prevent overflow.
Can you flush underground drains during service?
Yes. Flushing downspouts and underground extensions helps prevent backups and foundation issues.
What are the signs my gutters are clogged?
Overflowing water, sagging gutters, stains on siding, and pooling near the foundation are common signs that gutters need cleaning.
