If you’ve heard it once from home maintenance experts, you’ve probably heard it a million times. It would be best if you had your gutters cleaned regularly.
It’s advice we often give to our clients, and it’s good. But many people don’t understand exactly why clean gutters make such a difference when it comes to your home. Especially since it, ideally, should be done multiple times in a year.
But clean gutters are vital to a well-maintained home. Experts agree they’re important. Spending a little to clean your gutters now can save you a lot of money later.
This is especially important if your clean gutters take water away from your home, instead of letting it seep into your foundation, where it can do damage. Or it can keep water away from your basement, which can begin to grow mold over time.
Here are two more reasons to clean your gutters regularly:
Clean gutters control the water flow. Blocked gutters can send water to places you don’t want it to go, like down toward your foundation or siding. Instead, clean them out. That way, the water will move the safest way possible away from your home.
Clean gutters have less debris. Gutters can collect leaves, small limbs, dirt and other outdoor items. After a time, this wet, soggy mess can weigh them down and damage your gutters. It all goes back to how you want your gutters to move your water—and that’s quickly and efficiently away from your home.
So, as you can see, cleaning your gutters will make your home a safer place. Experts recommend doing this simple maintenance act every four to six months.

Association for Facilities Engineering at the Matunuk Oyster Bar
We love to get involved in local events big and small. Recently we were excited to be invited for a tour of the Matunuck Oyster Farm in Charlestown Rhode Island. We attended the event hosted by the Association for Facilities Engineering at the Matunuk Oyster Bar and enjoyed a boat tour of the farm guided by the Matunuck Oyster Bar's owner Perry. We learned about the importance of protecting the fragile saltwater bay ecosystems along the coast of the state and how climate change and severe weather is impacting these areas today and will continue to do so in the future.
Thank you to the Matunuck Oyster Bar for your generousity and for allowing us to learn more about your amazing facilities. It was great meeting other like-minded business owners on this impressive tour.
Every once in a while we get a little special recognition from our clients. It's not that we need it, our clients are always thankful, but it is great to know we personally helped someone so much they felt the need to send a gift. Here is a photo of a note and gift to one of our project managers Ray Erazo, who once again went above and beyond for the comfort of a client. Ray is one of our longest tenured employees and an all-star in restoration project management. Great work Ray!

Summer is a time to enjoy the great outdoors, but it is also important to keep safety in mind. Consider the following tips, provided by the National Fire Protection Association to keep you and your family safe all summer long.
When using a charcoal grill, only use starter fluids designed for barbecue grills; do not add fluid after coals have been lit.
When using a gas grill, ensure the hose connection is tight; check hoses for leaks. Applying soapy water to the hoses will easily and safely reveal any leaks.
Always build a campfire downwind from the tent area. Clear vegetation and dig a pit before building your fire. Extinguish the fire before going to sleep or leaving the campsite.
Store liquid fire starter (not gasoline) away from your tent and campfire and only use dry kindling to freshen a campfire.
Your local SERVPRO® of Washington County wishes you a safe and happy summer!
A dying boy's wish, to become famous in China, is being fulfilled by thousands of people online.
Dorian Murray, 8, from Rhode Island in the United States, is fighting cancer and has chosen to stop treatment.
An 11 January post on a Facebook page run by his family said that before Dorian died he wanted to be "famous in China", because it had the Great Wall.
It asked people in China and other countries to send pictures so Dorian knows "he is internationally famous".
Dorian has been battling rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of soft tissue cancer, since the age of four.
He recently told his parents he wanted to be famous on "the bridge in China" - a reference to the Great Wall of China, local media reported.
"I'm just thinking before I go to heaven to try to be famous as much as I can," Dorian told local broadcaster WPRI.
Not long after his family made the Facebook appeal, the first few posts from the Great Wall started pouring in - despite Facebook being blocked in China.
The appeal has also been shared thousands of time on social media.

On China's microblogging site weibo, Dorian Murray started trending with thousands of users sharing his story.
"Cancer is already a terrible thing to go through, what's more, a young boy? He is so courageous and innocent and I hope we can make his dream come true. Let's make it trend," said Kara_ Star 289.
Weibo users have also been uploading and sharing photographs, carrying signs reading #D-strong, taken at various locations around Beijing including the Great Wall.
Staff of state-run newspaper China Daily have also shown their support.
Dorian's mother has written that she is "amazed and completely in awe of the response to Dorian's request".
"Dorian has brought so much inspiration to people, around the world! I couldn't be more proud of my son."
