— About This Service
Protect Your Home with yearly gutter Cleanings
the purpose of the gutters and downspouts is to collect rain or melt water from the roof and move it away from the building’s concrete foundation. gutters clogged with leaves, twigs, roof materials and other debris will leak or overflow causing basement flooding, drips, icy walks, foundation damage, and landscape degradation.
Clogged gutters in winter lead to several issues including dangerous heavy ice buildup, which can cause the gutters to pull away from your roofline, slippery walks from drips, and expanding foundation cracks.
depending on tree coverage your gutters will be requiring cleaning once or twice a year. If you have no tree coverage you may be able to go several years however there is still usually a buildup from roof granules, bird & squirrel activity, and random roof materials.
Stop water from spilling over gutter edges.
Remove leaves, sludge, and downspout debris.
Prevent frozen blockages from tearing off gutters.
Direct heavy rainwater safely away from home.
Gutter cleaning safeguards your home’s foundation against water infiltration, damage and settling. Pooled runoff spilling over clogged gutter edges collects directly near basement walls, that will lead to foundation cracks, interior leaks, and structural foundation settling. This is a serious problem! By keeping your entire eavestrough system clear and free-flowing, we protect your home from unexpected floods and expensive structural damage.
We utilize specialized gutter clearing tools and techniques to thoroughly clean your eavestroughs and downspouts. Keeping your gutters clear maximizes the overall performance and lifespan of your eavestroughs while preserving your home's curb appeal. Investing in routine seasonal Gutter cleaning is the best way to avoid major expenses down the road.

— FAQ
Eavestrough Cleaning Questions, Answered
-
Clean your eavestroughs at least once a year if you have trees nearby that are higher than your gutters. If you have heavy tree coverage you may need it twice a year- or more. Consider leaf screens if you have really heavy tree coverage. If you have no trees nearby you may be able to go for several years, however there is always a steady buildup accumulating from dust, birds, squirrels, roof materials, broken shingle pieces, and even sports balls or chicken bones sometimes! Who knows how the chicken bones get up there!?
-
Key indicators include water spilling over the sides during rain, sagging gutter runs caused by heavy trapped wet debris, plants sprouting in your troughs, water pooling near your foundation, or a lack of water flowing out of the downspouts.
-
Yes, clearing downspouts is a core part of the service. We ensure that downspouts are completely free of trapped debris, twigs, and sludge so water drains freely away from your foundation.
-
Trapped water and wet debris freeze during local freeze-thaw cycles stopping the flow- creating heavy ice in the gutters. This extra weight can pull eavestroughs completely off the fascia board to the ground, or can lead to ice dams building up onto the roof under the shingles. Without flow gutters will also overflow causing icicles, drips and slippery walkways. It will also restrict the downspouts from being able to move the water from the roof away from your home foundation.
-
No, as long as our technicians have clear exterior access around your property (gates unlocked, pets secured), you do not need to be home during the service. We come, do the cleaning and send you a bill on email. Or we can leave a paper bill if you don’t have email.
