Fall Has Fallen!
Yes..it is now November in Indiana and that the curtain is falling on the beautiful colors of fall. The show ends and what happens next? Thousands upon thousands of leaves are suddenly falling from their perches. Once they finish their free fall, the landscape will turn gray and winter-like. On the ground and particularly on roofs there can be damage if those leaves are not removed. Gutters are a favorite landing place for leaves. When those same leaves become wet, they get heavy. They get even heavier and more solid as freezing temps set in. As leaves and other debris accumulate in gutters, they can hold moisture and cause gutters to sag, fall off homes, or cause water intrusions into the home.
Please take a few minutes to read the following article about the importance of gutter maintenance this time of year. If WILMOTH is your property manager, a quick reminder! We are providng gutter cleaning on vacant properties, buildings with 3 units or more, and two-story properties right now. If you want the gutters to be cleaned at your properties, please do not delay and email owners@wilmothgroup.com , with the subject of the email “Clean My Gutters Please”. Please include the addresses of the properties you wish to have the gutters cleaned. The cost for these services varies based on the size of the building, but a typical cost would be $150-$250 per property.
Tenants in single story homes are obligated to clean their gutters but often do not do a great job. So, if you want to really take care of your property consider using our services for single story properties and any multi-family.
If you do not ask us to handle leaf removal, we will note that you are absorbing this risk to your property. We know many owners have this service contracted, no matter who the manager, so this year we are only asking you to contact us if you want us to handle.
Happy November!
