Why you should have gutters cleaned regularly

A gutter and downspout system was designed to catch the flow of water from your roof. If your gutters are clogged, the water has no where to go except either over your gutters or underneath your facia board (roof line). It will find it's way around or in your foundation or inner walls not to mention windows. We can't begin to tell you how may people hire roofers and make unnecessary calls only to receive a report of gutters needing to be cleaned out.

Are your downspouts working?

Your downspouts are designed to take the water safely away from your property's dwelling. If your downspouts are not properly opened and flowing, the water will back up find it's way over or underneath your gutter system. It will find its way inside. And we all have watched enough news reports on flooded basements and internal water damage.

How often gutters should be cleaned

It is important to do this two times each year.

Spring or summer: (preventative and general maintenance.) Very important. Especially if you skipped the late fall clean up and the spring and summer foliage accumulates.

Late fall: (general maintenance) this cleaning is vital to your property. If not serviced properly, gutters will cause damage to your home. Since all trees shed their leaves and debris at this time of season it's important with rain and most notably the snow storms that all water needs to flow properly.

What is the typical precedure for gutter cleaning?

We start off cleaning out all gutters by hand. We use buckets and bags to put the debris into. Then, we check out all downspouts to make sure they are opened and flowing. If the downspouts are clogged we will un-clog them. Usually the water hose will do the trick. If it does not, we will either rod out the downspout or disassemble them to get them cleared. Once all gutters are cleaned and downspouts are opened we will use the water hose to flush out all gutters to get them as clean as could be. This also helps us out to catch the problem areas that we will call to your attention. And since we do minor repair we may even assist in this issue as well (if needed).
