Orange County weather may be mild, but seasonal rains can still wreak havoc on unprepared homes. A proactive gutter maintenance routine ensures your property stays dry, safe, and damage‑free year‑round. Use this checklist to keep your system working efficiently.

Install gutter guards for added protection.
