The Complete Guide to Gutter Cleaning

Why Gutters Are Essential for Your Home

Gutters aren’t just decorative—they’re your home’s first line of defense against water damage.

Here’s what happens when they’re not functioning properly:

• Water Overflow: Blocked gutters spill water onto your siding and foundation.

• Foundation Cracks: Pooling water weakens your foundation over time.

• Pest Problems: Stagnant water attracts mosquitoes, rodents, and other pests.

• Roof Damage: Clogs trap moisture, leading to leaks, rot, and shingle deterioration.

Keeping your gutters clean helps prevent all these problems—saving you stress, time, and repair costs.

Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning

Not sure if it’s time? Look for these common warning signs:

• Water spilling over the edges during rain

• Sagging or detached gutters

• Plants, moss, or weeds growing inside the gutters

• Stains on your siding or fascia

• Pests like birds, bees, or rodents near the roofline

If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule professional service.

Why DIY Gutter Cleaning Isn’t Always the Best Option

Sure, you could grab a ladder and gloves—but here’s why professional cleaning is safer and smarter:

• Safety Hazards: Falls from ladders are one of the most common household injuries.

• Incomplete Cleaning: Hidden buildup often gets missed.

• Time-Consuming: Our trained team can finish in a fraction of the time.

Hiring professionals ensures a thorough, worry-free experience.

FAQs About Gutter Cleaning

1. How often should I clean my gutters?

Twice a year—typically in spring and fall—is recommended for Oregon homes due to heavy rainfall and falling debris.

2. Do I need gutter guards?

Gutter guards help reduce clogs but don’t eliminate the need for periodic cleaning.

3. Can gutter cleaning prevent ice dams?

Yes. Clean gutters keep water flowing freely, reducing the risk of freezing and roof damage during colder months.

4. How long does a typical cleaning take?

Most homes can be completed in under two hours.
