Signs You Need Gutter Cleaning

Gutter problems can be easy to overlook, but there are clear signs that indicate it's time for a cleaning. Water spilling over the sides of your gutters during rain is one of the most obvious signs of a blockage. This overflow means that water isn't being properly directed away from your home or business, potentially leading to water damage. Other signs include sagging or pulling gutters, which may indicate that they’re weighed down by debris or trapped water.

If you notice plants or weeds growing from your gutters, this is another sign that it's time for a cleaning. Visible blockages, leaks, or rust marks along the gutter edges are also indicators that maintenance is overdue. Regular gutter inspections can help you catch these issues before they lead to more severe damage. By staying proactive, you can prevent the need for costly repairs and ensure your gutters function properly year-round.

Step-by-Step Gutter Cleaning Process

Our professional gutter cleaning service follows a precise process to ensure that your gutters are functioning properly and free from blockages:

  • Inspection: We begin by carefully inspecting your gutters and downpipes to assess the extent of any blockages or damage.
  • Debris Removal: Using specialised tools, we remove all leaves, dirt, and debris that may be causing blockages in the gutters.
  • Flushing the System: Once the gutters are clear, we flush them with water to ensure that downpipes are working correctly and there are no hidden blockages.
  • Final Check: We perform a final check to ensure your gutters and downpipes are clean and functioning properly, leaving no mess behind.

This process ensures that your gutters are fully cleared, reducing the risk of water damage and prolonging the life of your drainage system.
