Get Ready for Rain and Heat in Central Texas!
Why Summer Gutter Maintenance Matters: Premium Gutters shares expert summer gutter prep tips for Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock & Georgetown, TX.
Summer Gutter Prep in Austin – In Central Texas, summer means scorching temperatures, sudden downpours, and the occasional tropical storm. All of these can wreak havoc on your gutters if they aren’t ready. Ignoring seasonal gutter prep can lead to:
- Foundation damage due to overflow
- Pest infestations from standing water
- Rust or sagging due to built-up debris
- Missed opportunities for rainwater harvesting
At Premium Gutters, Inc., we help homeowners in Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, and Georgetown, TX and the surrounding areas keep their gutter systems functioning efficiently all year round.
Top 5 Summer Gutter Prep Tips
1. Inspect for Winter and Spring Damage
Start with a visual check. Look for:
- Cracks, rust spots, or sagging
- Detached downspouts or leaking joints
- Signs of mold or mildew around the fascia
If you see any of these, schedule a professional inspection. Contact us here for a free quote.
2. Clean Out All Debris
Leaves, twigs, and shingle grit can accumulate even in summer, especially after spring storms. 💡 Pro Tip: Summer cleaning is key before hurricane season begins in late summer. If you’re not up for the ladder, we offer comprehensive gutter cleaning services.
3. Check Slope and Flow
Pour water into the gutter and watch the flow. Water should move smoothly toward the downspouts without pooling. ⚠️ Pooling water can mean your gutters are not sloped properly or are clogged.
4. Install or Inspect Gutter Guards
Leaf screens like the Step Lock Leaf Guard system (perfect for rainwater collection setups) keep your gutters clear without constant maintenance. Learn more about gutter guard installation and benefits.
