Gutter Cleaning in easton-e-bethlehem-nazareth, PA

Putting off gutter cleaning is tempting–especially if it's a task you take on yourself. However, neglecting the job isn't something you want to do if you're at all concerned with the condition of your home. Even if you skip just one cleaning, you put your home at risk of:

• Pest infestation. Pests love organic matter. They also love water. Clogged gutters meet both of those desires. That's why you may see more mosquitoes, spiders, or termites in and around your home if you haven't cleaned your gutters for a while. Though they start outside, they can make their way inside your home where it's safe and dry.
• Damage to your fascia, soffit, siding and roof. Residential gutter damage can affect all of these components. Cleaning them regularly means keeping tabs on their condition, too.
• Leaks. When debris blocks the flow of rainwater, that rainwater spills over the edge of your gutters and down the side of your home. While your siding and window trim are there to protect your home from costly water damage, any cracks or existing damage may mean that water is let through. Leaks can lead to issues such as increased indoor humidity, mold, wood rot, and more.
• Compromised roofing: When rain overflows your gutter system and pours out onto your roof, it can leak through the shingles and damage the top of your house. With overflow water, leaks can even infiltrate your attic. Save your property from water damage by ensuring you've got clean gutters.

Not every gutter cleaning experience involves gutter repair, but it's not uncommon for us to come across slight instances of damage, such as loose sections, cracks, small holes, and sagging. If it has been a while since you cleaned your gutters, you likely have a lot of build-up inside of them.

This collection of wet leaves and other debris can be quite heavy, causing your gutters to pull away from your siding or sag. This puts pressure on both the gutters and the parts they're attached to and needs to be properly repaired so that your system works as it should. Types of small gutter repairs we may perform within the service include:

• Tightening loose fasteners
• Patching up small holes or cracks
• Reconnecting gutter joins
• Addressing sloping issues
• Re-coating the surfaces of your gutters to protect them from UV damage & heavy rain

If you have chosen to add gutter guard installation to your professional gutter cleaning experience, after we clean and fortify your gutter system, we will install your chosen model. There are various types of gutter guards to choose from for your traditional or seamless gutters, including:

• Screen gutter guards. Features a plastic or wire grid that prevents leaves and debris from entering your gutters. Both are affordable and easy to install.
• Micro mesh gutter guards. An excellent option for blocking tiny bits of debris like sand and dirt. They may, however, require soft washing from a pressure washer to dislodge the debris from the mesh.
• Brush gutter guards. These types of gutter guards look like a bottle or pipe cleaner with bristles that catch leaves and debris. They are flexible, rest inside your gutters, are very affordable, and work with all types, including steel gutters and seamless gutters.
• Foam gutter guards. A triangular block of foam that stops gutter debris but allows water to pass through. However, they can become saturated and cause gutters to overflow.
• Reverse curve gutter guards. Water will flow over the top and in a downward curve before dropping into the gutter. This stops debris from trees, like leaves, from entering your gutter system. An excellent choice for properties with many trees.
