Why Gutter Maintenance Is a Must for Every Homeowner

Your gutters may not be the most glamorous part of your home, but they play a critical role in protecting your property from water damage—especially in rainy Florida. At GPS Plumbing, we often see preventable issues caused by clogged or neglected gutters that lead to costly repairs.

If you want to avoid foundation problems, roof leaks, and mold growth, regular gutter maintenance is key.

🌀 Florida Weather Doesn’t Wait

Living in Melbourne, FL means dealing with sudden downpours, tropical storms, and even hurricanes. Clean, properly working gutters ensure water flows away from your home safely—rather than overflowing and damaging your foundation, walls, and landscaping.

 Here’s Why Gutter Maintenance Matters:

  • Prevents clogs from leaves, pine needles, and shingle debris

  • Protects your roof and fascia from water intrusion and rot

  • Reduces the risk of foundation cracks and basement leaks

  • Stops mold and mildew from forming on your exterior walls

  • Extends the lifespan of your entire gutter system

 Gutter Maintenance Checklist:

  • Clean gutters and downspouts at least twice a year (more in wooded areas)

  • Inspect for loose brackets, sagging sections, or leaks

  • Ensure water is draining at least 3 feet away from your foundation

  • Check for signs of rust, corrosion, or pooled water

  • Consider adding a LeafGuard system to reduce debris buildup year-round

When’s the Best Time?

The ideal times for gutter maintenance in Melbourne are:

  • Early spring – after winter storms and before summer rains

  • Late fall – after leaves have dropped but before hurricane season ends
