Inspection
We begin every gutter cleaning service with a rigorous inspection of your gutter system. Your gutters are attached to your house's fascia boards, which run horizontally on the edge of the roof. Gutters are designed to collect stormwater and direct it away from your home. If your gutters have begun to sag, they may have damaged these parts too. If they have become loose or fallen off, they might have also caused damage to your home's siding, and there's a good chance that the downspout has been affected as well. These parts are interconnected and need to be examined to verify they're in good shape. But if your gutters are in good shape, we will just proceed with a simple cleaning.
Gutter Cleaning Process
The gutter cleaning process involves removing any debris, dirt, and leaves from your gutters and downspouts that lead to clogged gutters and stop rainwater from flowing freely from the roof to the ground. This is a relatively straightforward process, but if you are not completely confident on a tall ladder, this could be an unsafe process. Our professional gutter cleaners have years of experience with gutter cleaning in Wheaton, IL, and are properly trained for the task.
Gutter Repair
You did it, you got your gutters cleaned. Maybe you've even got into a routine of regular gutter cleaning. But perhaps the next time when you call on us to clean your gutters, we notice slight instances of damage, such as loose sections, cracks, small holes and sagging. This is not uncommon, and not something to fret over either, as long as you address it immediately. A collection of wet leaves and other debris can get heavy, causing your gutters to pull away from the fascia board or even begin to sag. This puts pressure on both the gutters and the parts they are attached to. Getting a prompt gutter repair so your system runs smoothly is highly recommended.
