Why May is the most critical time to check your gutters

Spring storms are here, and they’re not letting up anytime soon. While April gave us a few gentle showers, May tends to bring heavier, more consistent rain—and your gutters are on the front lines. If they’re not ready, your home could be at risk.

Why May matters for keeping your gutters in tip-top shape

By now, winter debris has had plenty of time to build up, and early spring growth (like pollen, blossoms, and seeds) can quickly clog your gutter system. Combine that with unpredictable storms and you’ve got a recipe for water damage.

Here's what's at stake

  • Basement leaks from poor drainage
  • Soil erosion near your foundation
  • Overflow that damages siding, fascia, or your roof edge
  • Pests, like mosquitoes, that breed in stagnant water

  • Consider gutter guards to prevent future clogs


Why hire a professional?

While DIY might seem doable, some issues—like hidden cracks or improper pitch—are easy to miss. A professional inspection ensures your system is functioning before the heaviest rains hit. And with schedules filling up fast this time of year, now’s the time to beat the rush.
