How often should I have my gutters cleaned?

“How often should I get my gutters cleaned?” That is the question I hear daily if not several times a day. The simple answer is at least twice a year. Having your gutters and downspouts checked and cleaned at least twice a year will ensure that they drain property and won’t accumulate moisture that will lead to mold, bacteria and can cause roof damage. Cleaning your gutters is a necessary evil of roof maintenance. Most people do not enjoy the time, energy or the heights involved to do this properly.

That is why hiring a professional is your best option. A professional will make sure that no debris is left in your gutter or downspout. Even the smallest debris or material will not let your gutters drain smoothly. If your yard contains several trees overlooking your home or if you live in a rainy climate, you might want to have your gutters checked and cleaned more than twice a year. Also during the Spring and Fall are the best times to have this maintenance done. At these two times leaves and debris tend to fall and clog up your gutters. There is a small window of time when the leaves stop falling and winter sets in that you need to schedule this maintenance. Don’t wait til you see debris or notice problems in your drain. Typically you will run into more problems by that time. At the time of cleaning, we will note how much debris you have accumulated since your last cleaning. This will let us know if you need to clean your gutters more frequently than twice a year.

Hiring someone who has professional knowledge of gutter cleaning will save you money in the long run on the repairs you will need to make after a job that was improperly done.
