Gutter Cleaning Services

The designs of private houses often include drainage systems designed to drain rain and melt water from the walls and foundation of the building. This allows you to increase the life of the house significantly, so water does not destroy the foundation or cause it to shrink. Over time, all sorts of debris accumulate in the drainage system and gutters, interfering with the standard, full functioning of the entire system. Most often, leaves from trees growing nearby, small debris carried by the wind, dust, and so on become clogged into the system. All this, accumulating in the drainage system, prevents free drainage. In addition, wet leaves become a habitat and breeding ground for many insects. To avoid such consequences, regularly cleaning the drainage system, roof, and gutters is necessary.

The frequency with which the gutters must be cleaned depends on the number of trees growing near the house since their foliage is the main cause of blockages.

Leaves, pine needles, debris, and dust clog open and closed gutters, clog them, forming a rather heavy and dense mass. The diameter of the gutter decreases and cannot ensure the passage of water in the volume for which it is designed. Water accumulates on the roof, drains slowly, and overflows the edges of open gutters. If moisture does not have a way to drain normally, it simply flows down the walls, penetrates through the finishing into the supporting structures, and destroys them.

There is no point in hoping that rain will wash away all the pollution; it is better to contact our guttering service department right away. Foliage, small twigs, resinous needles, plant pollen, and dust, combined, stick together and turn into a single porridge-like mass that sticks to the metal and plastic covering of the drains.

Garbage is collected with a round dustpan. You can make it yourself by cutting a plastic bottle of a suitable diameter. When the debris is wet, it is more convenient to clean gutters after rain, as it does not gather dust and does not fly around. After removing large debris and fine dirt, the needles can be carefully removed with a small brush. If the gutters are plastic, they must not damage or scratch their coating. That is, there is no need to use metal brushes.

Leaks and overflows after a storm are the biggest signs that your gutters are clogged and need cleaning, but they can also indicate that you need gutter repair.

Signs Your Gutters Need Attention:

• Gutter overflow
• Visible debris in gutters
• Water does not flow from the drainpipe.

A securely installed system does not require serious maintenance and does not require repair of gutters. You only need to inspect and clean pipes and gutters 1-2 times a year — in spring and autumn.

Gutter cleaning is necessary to free pipes and gutters from blockages caused by dirt and fallen leaves, which, if frozen in winter, can damage them. Pipes and gutters should be cleaned mechanically and with a jet of water. When cleaning drains, the reliability of the system elements’ connections and the drain’s integrity are simultaneously checked.

Installing special mesh on the gutters and protective spider gratings in the funnels will help avoid drain clogging. Prudently trimming tree branches hanging over the roof at least 1 m from the house is also essential.

The need for gutter repair may not only arise when gutters are leaking or blockages form in the gutters. Other signs that your gutters need repair may include:

• Rust on metal parts, which occurs due to accidental damage to the elements;
• Cracks in plastic gutters that occur due to aging of parts and temperature fluctuations;
• Rattling of metal and plastic gutters due to the loosening of fasteners.

It is recommended to clean the system twice a year:

• In preparation for snow melting, at this time, it is necessary to remove not only organic debris, of which there is a lot in winter but also snow and ice;
• In the fall or at the end of summer, when the rainy season begins, and in front of it, quite a lot of flying leaves and pine needles have flown onto the house.

Depending on the site and environment the house is located in, gutters may require more frequent cleaning from leaves, pine needles, and debris. The rate at which debris accumulates and the need to clean gutters depend on the type of roof and its angle.

A complete system cleaning twice a year, in early spring and late autumn, is usually sufficient. You can carry out unscheduled cleanings when it becomes clear that the drainage system is heavily littered with leaves or debris. If cleaning is required often, it is worth checking the system configuration to see if it is configured correctly. The slope of the pipes may need to be slightly adjusted to allow water and small debris to flow through them better.

Regular gutter cleaning is vital for your gutter system to maintain optimal performance.
