What is included in a gutter clean?
If you are a homeowner in Bethesda, MD, this is a question you should ask before someone climbs up a ladder. Gutter cleaning can be more than just scooping out leaves. A thorough service keeps water flowing away from your home and prevents bigger problems down the road.
Basic debris removal
Technicians remove leaves, twigs, seed pods, and other buildup from the gutters by hand or with tools. That includes the gutter troughs and the top of downspouts where debris often lodges. All removed material is placed in bags and carried off your property so you are not left with piles of wet mess in the yard.
Downspout clearing and flow testing
Cleaning without addressing downspouts is only half the job. Technicians check each downspout for clogs and flush them with water. After clearing, they run water through the system to confirm it flows freely and exits away from the foundation.
Fastener and attachment check
Gutters can pull away from the fascia over time. A good clean includes checking hangers, screws, and brackets for signs of loosening or sagging. Any serious attachment issues are documented and reported so you can decide on repairs.
Visible issues near the gutters
If we notice a visible issue near the gutters while cleaning, we let you know. Gutter cleaning is not a roof inspection or repair service.
Cleanup and site protection
A proper service includes protecting your landscaping and cleaning up any debris that falls during the job. Walkways and patios are swept or blown off so you do not have to do extra pick up.
