July 17, 2018Gutter Cleaning in Andover, MA 01810, The cost and reason to keep the gutters clean.
- Are your gutters full of debris?
- Do you have trees and plants taking root in your gutters?
- Is the water running over your gutters/
- Do you have water running out of your down spouts hours after the rain has stopped?
If you have answered “Yes” to any of the previous questions it is probably time to have your gutters checked and or cleaned.
Often times if you see pine needles, leaves, green growing trees visible from the ground in or on you gutters it is often times for a gutter cleaning.
If after a rain storm has passed and an hour has gone by and you still see water consistently flowing from your gutters it is time for a gutter cleaning. This is caused from the build up of debris in the gutter holding back the water from flowing out of the gutter as it was installed to do.
What is in your gutter that needs to be cleaned out?
Leaves, Pine needles, small branches, tennis balls (errant balls) nuts from trees, ect, ect.
As the leaves fall and decompose it turns to muddy compost on the bottom of the gutter often trapping and restricting the flow of water and other small pieces of debris that would usually flow freely thru the gutter and down the down spout.
One small branch can cause havoc starting a small dam holding back a few leaves and eventually stopping the flow of water.
One of the causes we find quiet often when active children are at the house is a tennis or rubber ball stuck in the opening of the downspout as it is the perfect fit to restrict any water flow.
The correct process of cleaning out the gutters:
- We utilize ladders with stand offs which does not allow the ladder to rest on and damage the gutter.
- Use a 5 gallon bucket to place debris in while on the ladder, we do not throw debris from ladder as it dirties the home and disrupts the landscape
- after debris is cleaned out of the entire length of gutter we rinse thoroughly with clean water from a hose to check for proper flow and leaks. If we find leaks we notify homeowner with a suggestion of a repair.
- wash down exterior of gutter and dispose of debris
