Keep Water Moving Away From Your Home
Your roof and gutters work together to protect your home. Without properly maintained gutters, rainwater can pool around the foundation, damage siding, or even leak into your attic. For homeowners in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, and Sand Springs, where heavy storms are common, keeping gutters clear and functional is one of the simplest ways to avoid costly repairs.
Clean Regularly
Debris like leaves, twigs, and shingle granules build up quickly. Clogged gutters prevent water from flowing, causing it to overflow and damage your fascia, soffits, and walls. Cleaning gutters at least twice a year — and after major storms — ensures water can drain properly.
Inspect for Damage
Loose fasteners, sagging sections, and small cracks may not seem urgent, but they compromise your system. Walk around your home after rainfall to see if water is escaping where it shouldn’t. Addressing these issues early keeps small problems from turning into major leaks.
Downspout Extensions
Water should exit your downspouts at least 5–10 feet from the foundation. Extensions or splash blocks direct runoff safely away from basements and crawl spaces, preventing water intrusion and structural issues.
Consider Gutter Guards
For homes surrounded by trees, gutter guards can reduce debris buildup and cut down on cleaning frequency. They’re not maintenance-free, but they do make upkeep easier and extend the life of your system.
Seasonal Checks in Green Country
Oklahoma’s weather swings put extra stress on gutters. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter and sudden downpours in spring can loosen joints and strain hangers. A quick seasonal check ensures your gutters are ready for the next round of storms.
