Any gutter full of debris is rendered useless and can unfortunately mean it’s also time for some repairs to be done. The accumulation of debris and dry leaves will prevent water from properly flowing down through the spout. This means that excess rainwater will instead pour out over the side of the gutter, onto the siding of the house and your surrounding landscape. Eventually, such actions necessitate expensive restoration and repair for the exterior to your home. In addition to this, having a clogged gutter can produce rust which requires replacement. During the freezing winters, having water trapped in your gutter can cause the formation of ice dams which will not only weigh down your gutter, but cause damage to your roof.

Expert Gutter Cleaning Services

By having your gutters cleaned regularly you can avoid such disasters. Gutters can become clogged debris dropped by birds or squirrels, fallen leaves, or debris from your roof which makes its way down into the gutter. Any organic matter when combined with rainwater will cultivate mold which will continually exacerbate the issue of a clogged gutter.

Timing Matters

As with every home maintenance task, the time you choose to have your gutters professionally cleaned, or any small repairs done, can be the deciding factor in minimizing damage and prolonging the life of your gutters. It is recommended that you hire a professional cleaner to clean out your gutters at the beginning of fall and at the start of spring. By cleaning your gutters at the beginning of fall, the leaves will remain dry and therefore be easier to remove. As precipitation takes place the water will flow freely down the spout, making sure there is no damage to your gutter. Because there will be no debris blowing down the spout and no clogs, it is easier for our team of professionals to clean out your gutters. By hiring our professionals to clean the gutters in the springtime, you can prepare your gutters to direct spring rains away from your home. It is best to avoid hiring someone to clean your gutters in the middle of August as the hottest part of the year makes this chore a miserable one. But waiting too long to unclog your gutters can mean months of debris weighing down on the structure of your exterior and allowing the friendly cultivation of critters and bugs

Responsibilities as a Homeowner


As a homeowner it is imperative that you make sure each part of your home remains in working order. A clogged gutter can not only lead to unpleasant situations but it can cause diseases to spread. Scheduling professional gutter cleaning twice a year can make sure that all rainwater is diverted from the home and into proper public storm drains. Regular maintenance on the exterior of the home as well as periodic cleaning and inspection of your roof and gutters can help to maintain proper shelter and security for all residents.

Cleaning Before Winter

It is important to make sure your gutters are cleaned before winter comes for many reasons.  Eliminating pests can prevent the spread of disease. During the winter time it is especially important to make sure you hire our professional gutter cleaning services. Clogged gutters full of autumn leaves will cultivate standing water which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes spread serious illnesses including West Nile Virus. The Centers for Disease Control have recommended that homeowners make sure their rain gutters are cleaned every year in order to prevent the spread of such diseases within their community. In addition to eliminating pests, hiring our professional cleaners can reduce water damage to the interior or exterior of your home. Water damage can cultivate mold which weakens the foundation and walls of your home. Consumer Reports state that in wet regions gutter system can separate when they are burdened by the weight of debris.
