Gutter Cleaning & Flushing
A clogged gutter doesn't just look bad — it overflows exactly when you need it most, during heavy spring rain or when ice damming builds up in winter, sending water pooling right along your foundation instead of away from it. Over time, that's how basement leaks and foundation issues get their start.
Cleaning is done by hand, not just a blower, because compacted debris and seedlings that have rooted in gutters need to be physically removed. Downspouts are flushed with water afterward to confirm they're actually clear and draining, not just that the trough itself looks empty.

Gutter Cleaning & Flushing FAQs
How do I know if my gutters need cleaning?
Visible plant growth, water spilling over the edge during rain, or sagging sections are the clearest signs. If it's been over 6 months since the last cleaning in a treed area, it's due.
Do you check for damage while you're up there?
Yes — loose brackets, sagging sections, and obvious wear get flagged as part of the service, even though repair itself is a separate quote.
What happens to the debris?
Bagged and hauled away — it doesn't get left on your lawn or in garden beds.
Can you tell if my downspouts are actually draining properly?
Yes — downspouts are flushed with water as part of the service specifically to confirm they're clear, not just that the visible gutter trough looks empty.
