What Is Gutter Cleaning?

Gutter cleaning is the process of removing leaves, twigs, dirt, and other debris that build up in your gutters over time. Gutters are designed to channel rainwater off your roof and away from your home's foundation. When they become clogged, they can’t do their job properly—and that can lead to serious (and expensive) issues.

When gutters overflow or back up, it can cause:

• Water damage to your roof, fascia, and siding

• Foundation erosion or basement flooding

• Mold and mildew buildup

• Pest infestations from standing water and debris

• Ice dams during the winter months that can strain and damage the gutters

Regular gutter cleaning ensures that rainwater flows freely through your gutter system and downspouts, helping to protect your home from water and ice build up damage year-round.

Professional gutter cleaning typically involves:

• Safely removing all debris from gutters and downspouts

• Flushing the system to ensure proper water flow

Having your gutters cleaned at least twice a year—especially in the spring and fall—keeps your drainage system functioning properly and helps prevent unexpected repairs down the line.
