Why Gutter Cleaning Matters More Than You Think

Gutters are easy to forget. They're up high, out of sight, and they don't make any noise when they fail. But clogged gutters are responsible for some of the most expensive home repairs we see — and almost all of them are preventable with twice-a-year cleaning.

Foundation damage. When gutters overflow, water dumps right next to the foundation, eroding the soil and eventually pushing through into the basement.

Fascia rot. Water sitting in clogged gutters soaks into the wood fascia behind them. Rotted fascia means a much more expensive repair than the cleaning would have cost.

Ice dams. Clogs trap water that freezes and expands, lifting shingles and pushing under flashing.

Pest infestation. Wet leaves in gutters are a perfect home for mosquitoes, mice, and even small birds.

Two cleanings a year — late spring and late fall — keep your gutters working. We hand-clean every section, flush the downspouts, and re-secure any loose hangers. Want it on autopilot? Ask about our annual maintenance plan.
