Cleaning your rain gutters may seem like a small task, but it’s a big part of home maintenance. Even in dry climates like Los Angeles, gutters help prevent serious structural damage by channeling rainwater away from your home. The Rain Gutter Specialists recommend regular cleanings—even in dry months—to avoid costly repairs.

How Often Should You Clean Rain Gutters?

Homeowners should clean gutters at least twice a year—ideally in the spring and fall. In leafy or rainy areas, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. If you’re unsure, request a professional inspection.

Why Gutter Cleaning Is Critical

Clogged gutters can lead to:

  • Water pooling on your roof
  • Stained or rotting fascia and siding
  • Cracked or settled foundation
  • Flooded basements or crawlspaces
  • Mold and mildew buildup

Signs You Need Gutter Repair or Replacement

Don’t wait for visible damage. Watch for:

  • Gaps or sagging in gutter lines
  • Rust, corrosion, or peeling paint
  • Nails or screws on the ground
  • Water pooling around your foundation
  • Signs of mildew on walls
