Fall is here which means it is time to clean your gutters and make sure they are ready for the snow coming this winter. According to the Farmers Almanac, we are supposed to have an above-average amount of precipitation and below-average temperatures meaning ice dams could form if your gutters are not clean and working properly. Many homeowners do not realize just how much water their gutters have to redirect during heavy rainstorms, but your local Des Moines roof repair<\/a> service is very familiar. Raindrops are usually so small that it is hard to imagine just how much rain is falling down.<\/p>

As a longtime professional in the Des Moines roofing and gutters industry, we have it all figured it out. There is an essential equation that we use to gauge how much precipitation a rooftop will gather depending on the size of the home. For every 1000 square feet on a roof, 620 gallons of water will course through the drains. To put this into view, normal garbage cans hold about 40-60 gallons of water. If you filled ten of those trash cans up to the top it still would not equal the same amount of water that your gutters have to move away from you home with just one single inch of rain.<\/p>

In Iowa, it is not unordinary to have storms where one inch of rain can fall in less than an hour. When it rains all day long we can even see 5 inches or more! What this means to you as a homeowner is that your gutters play a significant role in the protection of your home. Keeping a clean and well-maintained gutter system is absolutely essential, and having a Des Moines roofing contractor<\/a> you can trust to do the job right is equally as important.<\/p>
