When Should I Get My Gutters Cleaned?

Many people want to know when it is the best time to have their gutters cleaned to avoid wasting time and money. The answer depends on numerous factors such as the types of tree cover you have, what debris will fall, time of year, and whether or not your gutters are overflowing.

First and foremost if your gutters look like a waterfall when it rains it is definitely time to figure out what is causing this. They could just need a few handfuls of leaves removed, or could have a completely clogged downspout that needs flushed.

Depending upon your tree cover you may have a large quantity of tree matter coming down in the spring. For example, the oak tree will drop long stringy catkins in the spring and maples will drop helicopters. If you notice your gutters are being sabotaged by either one of the above it would be a good time to consider cleaning.

The third and most obvious is in the fall season. We all know that the leaves turn from green to orange colors during the fall in Northeast Ohio. If you do not clean your gutters any other time of year it is necessary to do it during the fall. The large amount of debris packed in gutters if left can cause damage to gutters, fascia boards, and risk water damage.
