Are the gutters important?

Cleaning a gutter is best done at the end of autumn or at the beginning of spring. If it is more than one year ago, it is best to do this immediately, to avoid problems and water not being able to flow correctly. Especially in autumn, the gutters will quickly get dirty due to falling leaves and twigs.

Gutter guards are a worthwhile investment if your gutters tend to collect debris or attract pests—especially if your area also experiences heavy rain. However, if you live in an arid climate or urban area with no trees nearby, keeping debris out of your gutters may not be a priority.
