Seamless aluminum rain gutters can last up to 30 years with proper gutter cleaning. For the system to do its job properly and keep water away from your home, the gutters need to be free of dirt and debris. Open gutters can quickly accumulate leaves and other debris which can clog the system and prevent water from flowing freely. Regular gutter cleaning services will allow you to be sure that your system is working optimally and help prevent clogged gutters.
Gutter cleaning is critical because clogged gutters will overflow and damage your home. The purpose of gutters is to guide water from your roof to the ground while keeping it away from your house. The problem is that water is never the only thing that ends up in your gutter. Leaves, debris, shingle grit, even animals can find their way in there and when they get stuck, your gutters can clog —causing some serious and costly damage to your home.
Clogged gutters can cause rainwater to soak into your fascia board and cause it to rot. Rotted fascia board can allow water to leak into your attic, ceiling, etc. Similarly, if your downspout and drain are clogged, water can leak into your basement or foundation. It’s not only costly to fix but can cause dangerous mold and mildew growth.
Our gutter cleaning services are designed to keep the inside of your system clean. This is a necessity, allowing your gutters to operate and function properly. By installing guards, yearly interior cleanings will no longer be necessary.
One of the ways you can tell which chores are the most dreaded is by the number of “easy” gadgets that are available to “solve” the problem or make it “fun”. We’ve tried many of these gutter cleaning methods over the years and will continue to try and test new gutter cleaning options as they become available. Many of these gadgets, and even many hired landscapers, address only the gutter and completely ignore the downspouts and outlets.
So far, we’ve discovered that nothing is more effective than good old-fashioned hand gutter cleaning with a ladder, gloves, and a bucket. Using spray nozzles and similar methods often creates a mess that can splatter on your siding and windows. Below, we’ll explain the best way to tackle the entire job —including downspouts and outlets— leaving you with gutters that will perform and protect your home as designed.

You should perform a gutter cleaning before the spring rainy season and at least 1 or 2 times during the fall foliage season.
If you want to avoid costs from recurring gutter cleaning services, the other option is to have us install a high-quality gutter guard system to keep gutters clear of leaves and debris. Investing a little more upfront in such a system can save you money in the long run. High-quality gutter guards can also strengthen the gutter system and increase its longevity, especially if you experience heavy storms.
Leaks and overflowing water after a storm are the biggest signs that your gutters may have a clog and need gutter cleaning services, but it could also be a sign that you need gutter repair.
