Five-Star Roofing: What Our Clients Say

FAQ’s About Gutter Cleaning

Why clean gutters regularly?

Regular gutter cleaning is essential to prevent water damage to your home’s foundation, landscaping, and exterior. Clogged gutters cause water to overflow, leading to erosion, basement flooding, and fascia damage. Keeping them clear ensures proper drainage, protecting your significant investment and preventing costly repairs in the long run.

Can I clean gutters myself?

While you can attempt to clean gutters yourself, it can be a dangerous and time-consuming task, especially if you lack the proper equipment or experience working at heights. Professionals have specialized tools and safety gear to efficiently and safely remove all debris, ensuring a thorough job without risking personal injury or property damage.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Typically, gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, usually in the spring after pollen season and in the fall after most leaves have fallen. However, homes surrounded by numerous trees, especially pine or deciduous trees, might require more frequent gutter cleaning, sometimes three or four times annually, to prevent blockages.

Do gutter guards help?

Gutter guards can significantly reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutters, thereby decreasing the frequency of gutter cleaning needed. While they don’t completely eliminate the need for maintenance, they are effective at keeping out larger leaves and twigs, which are common causes of clogs, extending the periods between professional cleanings.

What if gutters are leaking?

If your gutters are leaking, it’s a sign that they need immediate attention. Leaks can occur due to cracks, loose joints, or damaged seams. While some small leaks can be sealed, larger issues might require professional repair or even replacement of sections to ensure proper water diversion and prevent ongoing water damage to your home’s exterior and foundation.
