The most important thing to know right off the hop is, if this is an emergency, if your roof or gutters are leaking right now, then you should be talking to a local professional already.
If you're already in need of repairs, stop reading, call an expert, get an inspection and a repair estimate. Don't wait any longer, because the longer you let water damage sit, the more costly it gets to repair.
I'll be the first one to say that residential roofing has improved dramatically over the past few decades, but one thing that hasn't changed is how easily a blocked gutter or drainage system can cause flooding or water damage if left unchecked.
While the technology, materials, and strategies have improved, water is still as troublesome as ever, and the only really effective defense is keeping it out in the first place. Luckily, that's easy to do, but you need to be vigilant. It only takes a tiny leak for a whole cascade of problems.
I recommend that if you can't remember the last time your gutters, and your entire roof, was inspected by a professional... you should probably schedule a checkup right now. A quick check by an expert can find the smallest, earliest signs of damage, and then correct them before they can turn into actual leaks.
As an added bonus, getting those regular inspections and repairs will almost certainly cut your long-term roofing costs, because instead of doing a complete replacement, you'll just need the smallest touch-ups. An expert team like Apex Restoration & Roofing can often double the lifespan of your roof, just by fixing the smallest problems promptly.
If you want to, certainly no one is stopping you from cleaning, inspecting, or even repairing your own gutter systems... but I wouldn't recommend it.
This process is often best left to professionals due to, well, a bunch of concerns.
Aside from the obvious safety concerns, with ladders, climbing on the roof, and working with tools up there - it's also just not as effective, and the consequences of a mistake can be pricey. If you mess up and miss a hole, or accidentally cause more damage, it's more than just a minor mistake, it might lead to a flood in your living room.
With the correct tools, strategies, and training, Apex Restoration & Roofing specialists can handle the entire process safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. They'll also be totally certain that everything is installed properly, your roof is draining efficiently, and it's not into your living room.
If you have the time, ladders, and a helper, it's probably not the worst idea to clean or unblock your own gutters - but when it comes time for the repairs, leave it to the experts.
At the very least, call them up first, and get a free estimate for your repairs.
As they explain it on their website, "When you need a gutter repair, it means that something is causing the system to back up or function incorrectly. While you may have the best intentions, if you don’t know about the system as a whole, you may run the risk of 'fixing' something that actually causes more damage down the line."
Don't risk the damage to your roof, your self, or your wallet.
When it comes to the important stuff, just ask an expert - and if it's a local expert that offers fast, free estimates, that's even better.
