So I’ve been working on the basement renovation and with that comes water control. I’ve taken care of the sore spots outside the house but still have one issue to address.
I have 2 large pine tree that extend over the house. The gist of my water issue is all the pine needles and cones that end up plugging the gutters and down spots. I do not have screens over the gutter and the last owned tried using a screen that was install in the down spout inside the gutter…well that gets plugged about every rainfall.
So I know I can pretty much use any screen to keep the pine cones out but how about the needles ? Will any old screen work or is one better than another? Any other suggestion welcomes. I could remove one tree but the other is on the neighbors property
Thanks!!
