Gutter Guard Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Gutter guards keep the troughs clearer, but under evergreens they collect a mat of fine needles and moss right on the mesh or screen. We clear that surface layer and check that water still passes through into the gutter below. Guards that stay caked over simply shed water past the gutter entirely, defeating their purpose during a downpour. Where it helps, we clean beneath removable sections to confirm the trough itself is still flowing.

Benefits

Clears matted needles and moss off the guard surface; Confirms water still passes through into the trough; Prevents guards from shedding water past the gutter; Extends the effectiveness of your guard system

Our Process

1) Remove the debris mat resting on the guards; 2) Check that water flows through the mesh or screen; 3) Access and clear the trough beneath removable sections; 4) Rinse the guards and confirm proper drainage

What Affects the Cost

Linear footage of guarded gutter; Type and design of the guard system; Volume of needle and moss buildup; Whether sections must be removed to clean beneath; Roof height and access

Best Time of Year

Clean guards in late fall and again mid-spring to stay ahead of the needle drop that mats them over.
