Deciding to have a professional gutter cleaning is one of the best things you can do for your home. Gutters are an essential part of home maintenance; having them regularly cleaned can prevent serious damage to your property. If you are curious about how the gutter cleaning process works, here’s what you need to know:
Get Rid Of Debris
The first step is to get rid of debris buildup that has fallen into the gutter. This could be leaves, branches, twigs, seeds, and even moss growth. Having debris removed by hand is the best way to clean gutters. While it is a laborious process, it guarantees that everything is removed and not simply pushed somewhere else.
Remove Blockages
One all the debris is removed, the same needs to be done with any blockages. Blockages do not allow the downspouts to drain which can cause water to spill out of the gutters. Once blockages are removed, your gutters will efficiently redirect water away from your property.
Flush the System
Having your system flushed will make sure that your gutters are working properly. Professional gutter cleaners do this after all blockages have been removed to make sure that water is flowing the way it should be. You don’t want to find out your gutters aren’t clean after the first rainstorm.
Report Any Damage to The Homeowner
With professional gutter cleaning services, you will receive a full report of any damage that has been found. This includes damage to the actual gutters, drains, and downspouts themselves. Gutter cleaners will also look for damage to your home as well; this includes a report on the integrity of your roof.
Provide Before and After Photos
Documentation is always provided with a professional gutter cleaning. Photos will be taken of the gutter system before cleaning has started so homeowners can see what was worked on. Once the cleaning is finished, after photos will be taken so homeowners will be able to look at the state of their gutters without having to climb on the roof.
