Cleaning & flushing

Every run scooped out, every downspout flushed

From
How long
Two to three hours for most houses

Most gutter trouble starts with a clog: water backs up, spills over the front, soaks the fascia and runs down the wall. A cleaning is the cheapest repair there is.

We scoop every run out by hand, bag the debris and take it away, then flush each run with a hose and clear any downspout that doesn’t run free. If we see a loose hanger, a dripping corner or a soft spot in the fascia, you get a photo and a price, and nothing is fixed without your OK.

Questions

How often?

Once a year in the open, twice under maples, and two or three times under Douglas firs, which drop needles in autumn and cones in spring.

Do you use a pressure washer?

Not on the roof: it lifts shingle granules and drives water under the drip edge. We scoop by hand and flush with an ordinary hose.
