Gutter and Downspout Assessment

We check out your complete above-ground rain gutter system. Searching for problem areas that may necessitate particular attention we evaluate any apparent impediments in the channels and downspouts. We also take the time to spot missing screws, loose-fitting joints, and areas where your gutters may have noticeably pulled away from the fascia. Performing this examination allows the professional technician to correctly assess the precise issues with your gutter system, specific areas that may need special attention, and to figure out the specific actions needed to guarantee a correctly functioning gutter system.

Eliminate Debris and Clogs in Gutters and Downspouts

Following the examination, the gutter cleaning expert will safely and securely set an extension ladder to access the starting point of cleaning the gutters. Depending upon problem areas found during the examination, the professional may select to remove obvious large blockages first or might simply start at one end of the guttering working their way to a downspout. For two-story homes, most technicians prefer to clean the gutter system beginning with the highest level and work their way downward. Durable work gloves, a garden or gutter scoop, and a bucket are extremely useful when cleaning the gutters. When particularly persistent obstructions are found the technician may decide to employ a plumber’s snake or high-pressure water to clear the obstruction. Finally, after eliminating all the debris the gutter cleaner uses a low-pressure water hose to rinse the gutters and check for the efficient performance of the entire gutter system. At this point, the professional might possibly have the opportunity to spot prospective problems with your guttering that were not noticeable before the cleaning. The technician will advise you of anything you should be on the lookout for over time.

Bag or Distribute Residual Gutter Debris

After the gutter system is examined, cleaned, and flushed, the specialist will ensure that all residual debris is bagged appropriately for disposal. Alternatively, depending upon the volume of debris collected and the type of landscaping on the property, the professional may elect to disperse it into existing flower beds or gardens.
