When gutters aren’t cleaned they get clogged with leaves, twigs, dirt, shingle-grit and sludge, preventing water from flowing properly. Gutter cleaning is an essential home maintenance task in Elbert County, CO. Rain gutters are designed to take water away from your roof, down to the ground and away from the building’s foundation. Regular gutter cleaning and clearing should be undertaken to keep them functioining optimally. 

Clogging and blockages cause rainwater to overspill the guttering, increasing the risk of water damage to the roof, fascia boards, foundation, siding and basement. Water can also back-up and cause roof leaks and ceiling leakage leading to mold and mildew growth with associated health risks. Seamless aluminum gutters fitted with gutter guards or screens are the best solution for a low maintenance gutter option requiring less frequent cleaning.

A power or pressure washer can also be used to clear downspouts and clean surface dirt and grime.

While cleaning your guttering our technician will inspect the gutter system for signs of damage such as holes, cracks, sagging, rust, corrosion, loose brackets and detachment from the fascia boards.
