As we welcome 2025, it’s the perfect time to check on the condition of your gutters. Whether you're in Nampa, Boise, Caldwell, or anywhere else in Canyon County or Ada County, Clearview Gutters is here to provide you with the essential tips you need to keep your gutters functioning properly throughout the winter. Proper maintenance can prevent costly repairs, water damage, and other issues that may arise from neglected gutters. Let’s dive into some important winter gutter tips to help protect your home this year.
Winter brings a unique set of challenges for your home’s gutters. Rain, snow, and ice can all take a toll on your gutters, and if they aren’t properly maintained, it can lead to serious problems. Clogged or damaged gutters may not properly divert water away from your home, which can cause roof leaks, basement flooding, or even foundation damage. That's why it's crucial to keep your gutters in great shape year-round—especially during the winter months.
One of the best things you can do for your gutters is to clean them before winter sets in. During the fall, leaves and debris can accumulate, causing blockages. If left unchecked, these blockages will only worsen once the rain and snow start. Clogged gutters can cause water to pool and freeze, leading to ice dams on your roof, which can cause damage to your shingles and gutters.
Make sure your gutters are clear of leaves, twigs, and other debris to ensure proper drainage when the winter rains and snow arrive. If cleaning gutters isn’t something you enjoy doing or if it’s too high up for you to reach safely, give Clearview Gutters a call. We offer professional gutter cleaning services to ensure your home is protected from water damage.
Winter is tough on gutters, so it’s important to inspect your gutters for any damage before the weather turns harsh. Look for cracks, dents, rust, or any areas where gutters are sagging or pulling away from the house. These issues can prevent your gutters from functioning properly and may lead to more expensive repairs down the line. If you notice any problems, contact us at Clearview Gutters for a professional inspection and repair.
For gutters to work effectively, they need to be pitched properly to allow water to flow toward the downspouts. Over time, gutters can become misaligned or may begin to sag due to the weight of debris or water. If your gutters aren’t properly pitched, water may not flow correctly, leading to standing water, ice dams, or leaks.
At Clearview Gutters, we can help ensure your gutters are properly pitched, so water flows freely and efficiently away from your home.
It’s not just your gutters that need attention; downspouts play a critical role in directing water away from your home’s foundation. Make sure your downspouts are clear of debris, and if possible, ensure they extend far enough from the foundation to prevent water from pooling near your home. If you’re unsure, a professional installation or cleaning from Clearview Gutters can help keep everything flowing smoothly.
Winter can bring plenty of debris into your gutters, so consider installing gutter guards to help prevent clogging. Gutter guards are designed to keep leaves, twigs, and other debris out of your gutters while still allowing rainwater to flow freely. This reduces the need for frequent cleanings and ensures that your gutters continue to function properly throughout the year. If you're interested in gutter guard installation, Clearview Gutters offers reliable, long-lasting solutions.
In areas like Boise, Nampa, and other cities in Ada County and Canyon County, snow and ice are part of the winter season. To prevent ice dams, make sure your gutters are clear and that your roof is insulated properly. Ice dams can form when warm air escapes from your attic, melting the snow on your roof. The melted water refreezes in your gutters, forming a dam. This can cause water to back up and potentially leak into your home. Proper attic insulation and ventilation can prevent this.
