How do Gutters get Clogged?
In New York along with many other cities and states in America gutters become clogged by leaves which fall twice a year. These leaves fall and accumulate on your gutters and with the combination of rain, they decompose and become debris. Citizens that have had Gutter Cleaning performed know that during the summer seed pods and blossoms and done falling and they too clog the gutters as well as underground drains on the system. Small creatures such as birds and squirrels may build nests inside or behind your gutters.

Should I get Gutter Screens?
Gutter Screens may look nice but they will run you a ton of money in the long run. Every gutter screen that we’ve run across in northeast weather and other four season’s weather allows small leaves, needles and seed through. The result is that downspouts still get covered and gutters still need to be cleaned. There is also additional labor involved with removing, cleaning and reinstalling the screens.

How do I know when my Gutters need Cleaning?
After a certain amount of time or difficult conditions, your gutters will not run as smoothly as they did before therefore they will not work properly. A good sign of this is water coming over the top, water in your basement and dripping water without it raining. These are obvious signs of a clogged gutter system but there are other signs that clearly aren’t as noticeable for that reason we recommend you have Gutter Cleaning done at least twice a year.

Why Should I hire you instead of Cleaning them Myself?
Gutter Cleaning should be performed by an expert for safety reasons. Every year, dozens of accidents are caused by attempts to unclog gutter systems by someone that does not have the experience required to perform such task. It is also cost-effective to have an expert do the job for you as you might damage the gutters to the point that it may cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars to repair.
