Gutter Cleaning FAQs
Have questions about gutter cleaning? We have answers.
From how often your gutters should be cleaned to common questions about gutter installation, we’ve got you covered with the information you need to protect your home year-round.
1. How often should gutters be cleaned?
Gutters generally only need to be cleaned once a year, and sometimes they can last even longer. The biggest factor is where you live — homes near trees or lots of landscaping will need more frequent cleaning than homes in open areas. We recommend assessing after each season to determine if service is needed.
2. What are the signs that my gutters need cleaning?
Overflowing water, sagging gutters, plant growth, and visible debris are all signs it’s time.
3. Do you offer gutter guard installation?
Not currently — we focus on cleaning, but can inspect and advise if guards may help in your case.
4. Can clogged gutters cause damage to my home?
Absolutely. Overflow can cause water intrusion, foundation cracks, roof leaks, and fascia rot. This can lead to costly repairs and become a nightmare for homeowners.
5. What is included in your gutter cleaning service?
We remove all debris from the gutters, clear downspouts, and ensure proper water flow throughout the system.
6. Do you clean downspouts as well?
Yes, we flush or snake out downspouts to ensure full drainage.
7. Is gutter cleaning safe during the winter months?
Yes, and it’s especially important. Ice can form in blocked gutters and cause expansion damage.
8. How do you ensure safety during gutter cleaning on tall buildings?
We use stabilizing ladder equipment and follow OSHA safety protocols on all elevated work.
9. Do you dispose of the debris collected from gutters?
Yes, all debris is bagged and properly disposed of — we leave your property cleaner than we found it.
10. Can you inspect my gutters for damage during cleaning??
Yes, our team will check for cracks, separation, rust, or misalignment and alert you to any issues.
