Gutter Cleaning On Residential Roofs

Gutter cleaning on residential roofs is important and would be surprised at how many people fail to realize this. If your gutters aren’t cleaned, then you could be dealing with all sorts of issues in your home and could potentially lead to structural issues.

Luckily, gutter cleaning is a fairly quick job, and our team here in Calgary is more than happy to help you out.

Why You Need Your Gutters Cleaned

For starters, gutters that are clogged with much are going to look rather unsightly. It is easy to tell when gutters haven’t been cleaned in a while. They will be packed to the brim with leaves, sticks, and whatever else has decided to sail down from the sky. However, how your home looks is certainly not the only reason why you will need to have your gutters cleaned frequently. Unclean gutters could cause issues with your home.

Mold Issues

Starting to notice mold issues developing in your home? It could mean that your gutters are clogged.

The whole reason you have gutters in place is to allow water to flow away from your building. When your gutters are clogged, the water has nowhere to flow. It will build up and build up. Eventually, this may start seeping into the property.

Mold can be insanely dangerous, not to mention unsightly. If you have mold issues in your home, then the vast majority of the time, it is going to be down to clogged gutters.

Remember, the mold isn’t going to be the only issue here. If water has managed to creep into the walls, then your electrics are at risk too…which is also dangerous.

Structural Damage

If you let your gutter issues get out of control, then there is a risk that the water can lead to cracks in the foundations of your home.

As you can probably imagine, dealing with cracks in the foundation of your property can be an insanely costly repair. You may even have to move out of your home while the damage is being repaired.

Structural damage to a home will often be the result of years of gutter neglect. So, if you haven’t had your gutters cleaned in a while, you may still have the ability to save your home.

Potential To Damage Your Roof

Gutters aid in getting water away from the roof. If water cannot flow, then it may start building up on the roof.

This can lead to roof damage. This may be visual damage on the outside of the roof e.g. cracked or missing tiles. However, it is much more likely to cause issues inside of the roof. It can result in rotting beams, poor home insulation, etc.

If gutters aren’t cleaned properly, then you could end up with a rather costly roof repair bill.

When You Need Your Gutters Cleaned

It is recommended that you have gutter cleaning on residential roofs carried out at least twice per year. If you live in a home surrounded by trees, then you may wish to have it carried out more frequently. This is because your guttering will be more prone to getting leaves, twigs, or even small animals in them.

What Happens When You Get Your Gutters Cleaned?

You will be pleased to know that gutter cleaning on residential roofs in Calgary is a rather swift process. Depending on how often you have had your gutters cleaned, the process can take anywhere from a few hours to a whole day.

You do not need to be at home when you have your gutters cleaned. We won’t need entry to your home.

Of course, our team is experienced enough that we see every gutter cleaning project as a unique challenge. No home or guttering system is the same, after all. However, our process is as follows.

We Hand Clean Your Gutters

Our first job will be to remove as much as we can from your gutters manually. This will require us to use a ladder to reach your guttering.

Armed with a bucket and a small set of tools, we will remove most of the things that have become stuck in your guttering. This includes leaves, twigs, and in some cases even dead animals.

We will use our tools to scrape away most of the things that cannot easily be removed by hand.

If you are having your guttering cleaned the recommended two times per year, then this process may not take too long at all. There will be some muck in our guttering, but nothing too crazy.

We Flush Your Gutters

While we will remove as much as we can from your gutters by hand, we won’t be able to remove everything.

For the second part of the process, we will flush high-powered water streams through your guttering.

This should help to remove any debris. It will also let us know whether there are any parts where there is potential clogging.

Wear & Tear On Eavestrough

Eavestroughs are not built to last forever. Even if you have one of the more modern, robust PVC options, they will eventually start to wear down. If you haven’t replaced your eavestrough in 20-30 years, then it may be time to think about having the whole eavestrough system replaced.

It is normally timer to have your eavestrough replaced if the problems start to stack up. For example, if you are starting to use more and more filler to cover up any cracks and holes. It may also be time to replace the system if there is a build-up of sediment that cannot be removed easily.

The replacement of a worn-down eavestrough is something that can only be tackled by a professional. Not only is it dangerous to remove and install a new eavestrough, but it must also be replaced correctly. This means ensuring that there is adequate guttering installed, as well as ensuring that the eavestrough is at the right pitch.

Clean Up

Once we have flushed your gutters and we are confident that your gutters are completely clean, we will start to clean up.

There shouldn’t be too much mess, but you can be sure that we are going to dispose of any debris that we collected properly for you.

There may be small amounts of water left on the floor due to the flushing of your guttering, but this should dry up rather quickly!

We Can Check For Issues

If you haven’t had your gutters cleaned in a while, then we may be able to check for issues with your roof. Just let us know.

As a roofing company, we also can deal with many of these issues for you.
