DC gets hammered. Forty-one inches of rain a year, nor'easters that dump snow and ice, then those freeze-thaw cycles that crack seams and pull gutters loose. Your gutters aren't just collecting leaves—they're taking a beating.
When gutters clog, water backs up under your shingles, pools against the foundation, and rots out fascia boards. You don't notice until the damage is already done. And if you've got gutters full of moss and algae from our humid summers, a pressure washer is just going to tear them up.
That's why we clean by hand. One person on a ladder, working section by section, pulling out every leaf, every bit of silt, testing the water flow as we go. No shortcuts. No gutter guards that'll clog in two years. Just clean gutters that work the way they're supposed to.
We've been doing this in the DC area since 2007. We know what a winter here does to gutters. We know which downspout angles actually keep water away from your slab, and which ones just move the problem to your neighbor's yard. When we're done, you walk the property with us and see the work yourself.
Washington gets hit hard by weather. You've got 41 inches of rain a year, plus those nor'easters that dump snow and ice from November through March. Then there's the freeze-thaw cycle that DC winters are famous for — gutters expand and contract, joints start leaking, and before you know it water's pouring down your fascia and into your basement.
Most homeowners don't think about their gutters until something goes wrong. Clogged gutters back up during a heavy downpour, overflow spills onto your siding and foundation, and suddenly you're looking at water damage, rot, and foundation problems that cost thousands to fix. The debris builds up fast too — leaves, twigs, seeds from the trees all over the city. In spring and fall especially, you can go from clean gutters to a packed gutter system in a few weeks.
Regular gutter cleaning keeps that from happening. We come out, clear the debris, check your downspouts, and make sure water's flowing away from your home like it should. It's affordable maintenance that stops expensive repairs before they start. Whether you're in 20001 or anywhere else in the Washington metro area, keeping your gutters clean is the difference between a dry basement and a wet one.
We clear every inch of gutter by hand. Leaves, twigs, shingle grit, and packed sludge get bagged and hauled away. No leaf blowers on the roof, no mess in the yard.
Every downspout gets flushed with water to clear blockages at elbows and underground connections. If it's clogged, we snake it until the flow runs clean.
While we're up there, we check for sagging sections, loose hangers, cracked seams, and fascia rot. You get a written note of anything that needs attention before it turns into a bigger problem.
Tarps go down before we start. When we're done, the beds, walkways, and driveway look the same as when we arrived. We haul everything away — nothing left behind.
