A+ Gutter cleaning can prolong the life of both your gutters and your roof
Gutters! Probably one of the most dangerous and dirty jobs that you can do around your home. What are some of the tools that you are going need if you are planning to do this yourself? Well, a garden hose for flushing the gutters, a cleaning tool like a gutter scoop or garden trowel and even a single story home is going to require an extension ladder with a stand off for safety. You must also check for water damage under the eaves if they have not been cleaned on a regular basis.
After a clogged gutter has been cleaned you could look at installing a gutter system such as gutter guards. You can measure the linear feet of gutters to give you an idea of the cost. This however can come with its own set of problems, Most of the gutter systems we see accumulate the debris from the surrounding trees on the guards themselves causing as much of a problem over time as they push the water under the shingles and that is if they have been fitted correctly.
Really the safest way to get this done is to hire a professional gutter cleaner. Gutter cleaning cost can vary but when you take into the account of not having to get gutter cleaning tools for a 2 story house, such as high extension ladders not to mention the time it can take to do going up and down the ladders moving them all around the house it really makes sense to get a cleaning service to clean out gutters for you. Professional gutter cleaning services have the right equipment like levelers on their ladders, stand offs so as not to damage the gutter and they are comfortable working high up. Leaves and debris can build up quickly in your gutter system and when wet can become very heavy pushing down the gutters and putting strain on the bolts holding them in place. With A+ we have a number of ways to safely remove the leaves and debris from your blocked gutter system including a purpose built gutter vacuum which can extend up to two stories and suck dry or wet leaves and mud from the gutters without us having to climb a ladder. We recently invested in the SKY VAV system, an incredibly powerful vacuum which allows us to safely remove all debris effectively. A camera attaces to the gutter pole so we can see what is being cleaned out. The Cost to clean a gutter is done in linear feet, we will come out to the home and access which gutters need cleaning by mounting a camera to a pole and seeing what needs cleaning. After all you do not want to end up paying someone to clean out an empty gutter! For pricing call us today or send us a text
Many of the gutter cleans that we do have not been done in a long time, we see root systems and small trees growing from the gutters under a layer of what has now become mulch as the leaves have degraded over time. The weight in these gutters is amazing and the strain it puts on the gutters themselves can be dangerous. Our gutter vac sucks up these roots and trees to leave them clear and allow water to flow freely along them. We also inspect and clean out the downspouts to make sure that the water has somewhere to run off.
Cleaning frequency can depend on where you live and how many trees are surrounding your home. If you are surrounded by trees then a yearly clean is recommended to maintain your home and give your roof a longer life as you will not have water pushing up the asphalt tiles which can become a huge out of pocket expense especially when you compare that to a yearly clean.
If you are planning on selling your home, have gutters and live in a leafy area then you should think about getting your gutters inspected and cleaned out before the home inspection. This can raise red flags if they are not done and overflowing meaning that the new home owners could have water problems which let’s face it none of us want.
To get a video inspection of your gutters we have a $35 fee which comes off the final amount if you have them cleaned by us. To learn more click the contact us button text or email us and we can get out to see you.
