What About Gutter Guards?
The variety of gutter guards found at a home depot stores helpful in keeping debris out of your gutters between cleanings but it is not a substitute for gutter cleaning. You might keep leaves out but seedlings and pine needles get through anything. In my opinion many of the gutter guards sold today are even counter productive and other make cleaning your gutters much more difficult or even close to impossible.
The “Never Clean Your Gutter Again Products” are good but not the solution. The problem is that they are not 100% effective and when you have a problem the company that installed them is the only one who can clean them. During periods with lots of heavy rains it may take them weeks to get to you.
Lastly, people with gutter guards tend to forget about their gutters completely until there is a problem. Weather you have the cheapest gutter guards, the most expensive or no guards at all, every now and then grab an umbrella, take a walk in the rain and make sure your gutters are functioning properly.
How Often Should My Gutters Be Cleaned?
At a minimum I suggest twice a year, Spring and fall. The issues presented by the leaves of fall are obvious but the seedlings that fall in the spring can be just as damaging. You do not want clogged gutters during those heavy summer thunderstorms.
Some house need cleaning more often than others. We can figure a scheadule to suite your needs.
Why do I need My Gutters Cleaned?
Clogged gutters do a great deal of damage to a house. Water that is not directed away from the house can end up in your basement or doing damage to the foundation. Damage to paint and rotting of the fascia boards are common with prolonged periods of over flowing gutters.
How do you clean Gutters? Do you run the hose down them?
Most times we come on a dryer day and blow out the gutters and use the blowers to ensure that your down spouts are not clogged. Sorry, we do not guarantee underground drains. At times we find wet “muck” that we clean by hand and bucket.
