What Exactly is Included in a Gutter Cleaning?

As you probably know already, gutters are an essential part of any home’s drainage system.

They help to collect rainwater and direct it away from the house, preventing water damage to the roof, walls, and foundation.

However, gutters can become clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris, which can prevent them from functioning properly. That’s why it’s important to have your gutters cleaned regularly.

But what exactly is included in gutter cleaning?

Gutter Cleaning Service Overview

Gutter cleaning typically involves removing any debris that has accumulated in the gutters. This can include leaves, twigs, and branches. Believe it or not we’ve even seen small animals like birds or squirrels.

The gutter cleaning process may also involve flushing out the gutters with water to remove any remaining debris.

In addition to cleaning the gutters themselves, gutter cleaning services also include cleaning the downspouts. Downspouts are the vertical pipes that connect the gutters to the ground. If these become clogged, water can back up and overflow from the gutters, causing damage to your home’s foundation. Cleaning the downspouts involves removing any debris that has accumulated inside them and ensuring that they are clear and free-flowing.

This is especially important to do before the winter hits our area so the water doesn’t freeze one day and melt the next. 

Gutter Cleaning Inspection

Another important component of gutter cleaning is inspecting the gutters for damage. Over time, gutters can become damaged or worn, which can lead to leaks or other problems. During the gutter cleaning process, we will inspect the gutters for any signs of damage and make recommendations for repairs if necessary.
