With the messy and unpredictable weather that comes with fall, it’s an important time to give your siding the appropriate amount of attention. But which steps should you take to ensure your property is properly maintained during this time of year? For the best results, follow the tips below. 

Crucial Steps for Fall Siding Maintenance

Clean Your Infrastructure

With the sharp winds of fall, more dirt and detritus will be blown against your siding, burrowing into its nooks and crannies. A simple spot cleaning can remove months of dust and grime, improving the appearance of your home. A gentle power washing can also get the job done and ward off the deterioration of the panels by keeping them clean.  

Empty Your Gutters

sidingWith so many leaves falling during autumn, your gutters are at risk of becoming overcrowded. When the tubes get blocked, water will be unable to travel and will spill over onto the siding. This contributes to rot, mold, and mildew. By checking on your gutters once a week and removing any detritus that has accumulated, you’ll allow water to move away from your home, extending the life span of your siding. 

Schedule an Inspection

With winter coming up, you should have an expert come and assess your siding. The technician will detect signs of wear and tear, and they will repair these issues. If compromised siding is left vulnerable during the harsh conditions of winter, the damages will only grow, necessitating more involved and costlier repairs later on. An effective repair job will also fortify your infrastructure at a time when you’ll need the best insulation possible.
