We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Lake County.

Rain gutter maintenance is an integral part of home maintenance, as clogged rain gutters can allow water to back up underneath the eaves and beneath the roofing materials, causing water to enter the home. Our local Mundelein and North Wauconda team witnesses firsthand the damage clogged rain gutters can cause. According to the National Association of Home Builders, cleaning gutters and downspouts is the single most important factor in preventing water damage to a home.

Here are some rain gutter maintenance tips:

• Clean rain gutters out at least twice a year or after a major storm
• Remove any debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt from gutters and downspouts
• Inspect gutters for signs of damage like rust, corrosion, or cracks
• Make repairs as needed to prevent water from seeping into the home
• Gutter guards are an effective way to prevent gutters and downspouts from becoming clogged
