Why Gutter Cleaning is Essential

Clean gutters protect your home\'s most important structural elements

Foundation Protection

Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and pool around your foundation, leading to cracks, settling, and costly basement flooding.

Roof Damage Prevention

Standing water in gutters can rot fascia boards, damage shingles, and cause ice dams in winter that damage your roof.

Landscape Preservation

Overflowing gutters erode soil, damage plants, and create unsightly trenches in your landscaping.

Pest Prevention

Debris-filled gutters attract mosquitoes, rodents, and other pests that can make your home their home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my gutters cleaned?

Most homes need gutter cleaning 1-2 times per year. Homes with many trees may need 3-4 cleanings annually. We recommend cleaning in spring and fall at minimum.

What happens if I don't clean my gutters?

Neglected gutters can cause serious damage including foundation cracks, basement flooding, roof damage, fascia rot, and landscape erosion. Regular cleaning is much more affordable than these repairs.

Can you clean gutters in winter?

Yes, weather permitting. Winter cleaning can prevent ice dams and ensure melting snow drains properly. However, we cannot work when gutters are frozen solid or conditions are unsafe.

Do you repair gutters?

We identify issues during cleaning and can provide recommendations for repairs. While we focus on cleaning, we can refer you to trusted professionals for gutter repairs and installation.

Will you damage my landscaping?

We take care to protect your property. We'll ask about sensitive areas beforehand and take precautions. Debris is bagged and removed from your property.

How long does gutter cleaning take?

Most residential gutter cleanings take 1-3 hours depending on home size and gutter condition. We'll provide an estimate when we quote your job.
