This is especially important in autumn, when leaves are shedding rapidly from the trees. When you are maintaining the exterior of your home during the fall season, make sure to check your gutters for leaf clogs or have someone come and clean them for you. This way you will not have roof damage or unforeseen leaks occurring during the winter and save yourself the stress associated with a problem that could have been prevented. Chimneys
