How Often Should Gutters be Cleaned?

Frequent Cleaning of Gutters

As a general rule, it’s best to have them cleaned once or twice a year. Though, there are cases where gutters need more frequent cleaning.

The location has always been a huge factor in gutter maintenance. If you are located in an area that has several trees around, heaps of leaves accumulate in your gutters more quickly than on houses that are in treeless areas. This calls for either just light sweeping of leaves away from the gutters or a more serious vacuum gutter cleaning effort. It’s best to have them inspected at least every six months. For safety and experience benefits, both types of cleaning are advisable. It is best when done by gutter cleaning professionals.

Good news, Matt, one of our local gutter heroes in Brooklyn, happened to have an appointment just 30 minutes away from the customer that day. So our Customer Care Team was able to squeeze her in at the requested time

For gutters, the weather is either their friend or an enemy. Rain is sometimes good news to gutters as they help clean the gutters naturally. But wind, on the other hand, is troublesome for gutters most of the time. This is because they carry debris, dust, and other particles from all directions to your gutters. If too much dirt gets trapped in the gutters, it might turn to mud and end up clogging the downpipes.
