Gutter Cleaning: A Crucial Part of Home Maintenance
Gutter cleaning is an important part of home maintenance, especially in the Pacific Northwest, where we get a lot of rain, needles, and leaves falling from the sky. Clogged gutters can freeze and burst, causing damage to your home. Additionally, water can collect inside and potentially leak into your home leading to deterioration, rot, or mold.
A gutter’s job is primarily to protect the foundation from flooding, which especially here in the Pacific Northwest can be a problem. I once ran into a job where a dirty roof and clogged gutters caused the entire side panel of part of the house that had to be replaced, this was likely thousands of dollars to repair!
A good gutter cleaning service is essential. Gutters should be cleaned every year for proper functioning. Most typically done in fall after the leaves are gone, but anytime can work to keep your home in shape!
Doing it yourself can work if you have all the proper equipment but it can also come with more risk. Let our licensed and bonded professionals take care of your gutters and keep them spick and span.

How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?
