Property care: Gutter cleaning

Professional gutter cleaning, leaves out and downspouts running

Leaves pulled out and downspouts cleared so the water leaves the roof the way it should.

Where the leaves end up

Every tree over or near a house sends leaves, twigs and debris down onto the roof, and the roof sends them into the gutters. Given a season, a clogged gutter holds more debris than water and the downspout stops carrying anything. K&K's gutter cleaning is leaf removal and downspout clearing.

Homes on tree-heavy lots feel it first. The same crew that takes trees down and trims limbs back can see which branches are dropping onto your roof edge, so the conversation about the gutters can include the trees above them.

Leaf removal and downspout clearing

The job has two halves. First the leaves and debris come out of the gutter run itself. Then the downspouts are cleared, because a gutter that is clean but feeding a blocked downspout still backs up and spills at the first hard rain.

Clearing the whole path matters more than tidying the top. Water that has somewhere to go leaves the roof edge the way it was meant to, instead of spilling over the side of the house and down the wall toward the foundation.

Why a full gutter is worth fixing before the rain

Overflowing gutters send water down the wall and across the fascia at the roof edge, where it can soften wood and work its way toward the roof. A cleaning is a small job next to repairing that kind of damage, and it is far easier to schedule before the storm than after.

If the roof edge has already taken a hit, K&K does expert roof repair as well, so one call covers both.

Trees and gutters

When the trees fill the gutters, one crew can see both problems.

Trees are K&K's lead work: removals, trimming, chipping and 24/7 storm calls. The limbs hanging over a roof are the same ones filling the gutter beneath them. Cleaning clears what has already fallen. Trimming deals with where it keeps coming from. Read about tree trimming.
