Gutters that are filled with debris.

It is vitally important to keep your gutters clean, because if they are obstructed they can cause overflow and do harm to your residence. The role of guttering is to direct water away from the roof and the structure itself. Unfortunately, however, liquids are not the only items which end up in your rain gutters. Leaves, detritus, granite particles, even animals can become trapped there and when jammed in place contribute to blockages – resulting in expensive damages being inflicted on your house.

Clogged gutters can cause rainwater to permeate your fascia board and lead to decomposition. Decayed fascia board can enable water to overflow into your loft, vaulted ceiling, etc. Likewise, if your run-off pipe and spout are clogged, moisture can seep into your subterranean level or substructure. It’s not only costly to mend but can foster risky mold and mildew growth.

Our gutter cleaning services in San Antonio, Cibolo, Seguin and the surrounding Texas areas aim to make sure your system is clean internally. This is essential in enabling the gutters to carry out their functions correctly. By having guards installed, there will no longer be a need for yearly interior cleanings.

Gutters that are overflowing or leaking.

After a storm, water leaks or overflows from your gutters could indicate a blockage and the need for gutter cleaning services, but it may also be an indication that you must repair them.

Indicators that your gutters require maintenance

  • Gutter overflow
  • Visible debris in gutters
  • No water flow from the downspout

Someone with no knowledge of gutters may think an overflow caused by a blockage looks the same as one resulting from damaged or incorrectly installed gutters.

Do I Need Gutter Cleaning or Repair?

Cleaning

If water is overflowing near your downspout, it may be a sign that you need gutter cleaning services. This can be caused by a blockage in the downspout that can be fixed through cleaning.

Repair 

If overflow is occurring in the middle of a gutter or at the end of a downspout, this usually signals that repairs or reinstallation is necessary since this could:

  1. be a sign of a pitch issue
  2. mean your gutters are too small
  3. mean there are not enough leaders or downspouts
  4. be your gutters are sagging/pulling from your home due to age, or install issues

Other indications that you have overflow issues:

  • Stained or cracked walls, siding, or foundation
  • Pooling by your foundation
  • Visible overflow from the front of the gutter or between the fascia and gutter in the rain

Other indications of a blocked gutter are wet spots near downspouts that lead to underground drains. If this is the case, then it will require a thorough gutter cleaning.

Homeowners in San Antonio, Cibolo, Seguin and the surrounding Texas often incorrectly identify the cause of their gutter issues, even when following the above guidelines.

Let the Pros Decide

Do It Yourself Cleaning   

Cleaning your gutters can be a hazardous task, so it is best to hire gutter cleaning services in order to avoid any potential risks. Making mistakes while attempting this job could lead to injuries or damage your property.

  1. Not properly adhering to ladder safety
  2. Overreaching while on a ladder

Best Time of Year to Clean Gutters 

  • Spring before increased heavy rainfall 
  • Fall after all leaves have fallen 

The technicians don’t just take out the gutters using a leaf blower. It’s rare that gutters are only stuffed with dry leaves. We show consideration for the houses we serve and leaf blowers can blow dirt and slush over everything—marking windows, siding, patio furniture, and decks below. Plus, leaf blowers aren’t successful at clearing clogs from downspouts. Cleansing merely the gutter and ignoring a blockage in a downspout will only result in more obstruction and more labor later on.
