Gutter Cleanup and Repairs for Your Sudbury Rental Property

Regular cleaning and repair of the home’s gutters is one important component of sustaining a profitable rental property. Gutters channel water from large roof surfaces away from the home itself, protecting the window wells, foundation, and other areas susceptible to flooding.

Neglected gutters can bring about expensive repairs in the future. As dry leaves and other debris gather in a gutter, they stop the downspouts from draining properly. Blocked gutters are going to freeze, overflow, and pull the gutters loose over time. Also, water gathering in the gutters could rust metal and rot wood. Gutters failing can result in water flooding a basement, damaging a foundation, and so on.

A number of Sudbury rental property owners assume that their residents will occasionally clean out the gutters—since they already take care of some of the basic maintenance tasks around their rental house. Then again, gutter cleaning and repair are not jobs that residents should be handling. Gutter maintenance and repair need the use of ladders, which means that appropriate safety measures must be taken to prevent falls and serious injury. When it comes to your single-family rental home, avoiding liability concerns and other safety risks is of utmost importance. Keeping your residents off of ladders and on the ground is the best means to do this.

Although maintaining and repairing gutters isn’t an especially difficult job, Sudbury rental property owners must think twice before opting to perform it themselves. Appropriate safety precautions must be in place, and even then, ladders are risky no matter how safely they are being used. Still, the hardest part of all might be remembering to do regular maintenance on your rental property’s gutters in the first place. Gutters are usually one of those maintenance items that remain out of sight, and out of mind, up to when they suddenly become a big problem.
