Summer Storms

The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts Summer in North Barrington to be hotter and rainier than normal. Water intrusion caused by rain can bring moisture into the house through damaged roof shingles and clogged rain gutters and downspouts. SERVPRO^® of Barrington/North Schaumburg has years of experience repairing storm damage and offers these preventative measures from Mr. Handyman for keeping your downspouts and rain gutters clear to prevent potential water intrusion from:

Downspout and gutter cleaning tips:

• Use an extension ladder for high rooftops
• Protect your hands with thick suede gloves and wear goggles to protect your eyes
• Clean gutters at midday when the roof is dry
• Clean debris off the roof before cleaning the gutters using a broom or leaf blower
• Clear the downspouts with a flexible rod with a brush on the end, like those used to clean dryer vents
• Run water through the gutter and downspout system to make sure it’s clear all the way through
• If a storm has already happened and the debris is wet, you can use a power washer with a telescoping wand with a u-shaped attachment so you can clean the gutters from ground level
