Gutter Cleaning

Gutter cleaning is basic maintenance, but ignoring it gets expensive fast. Clogged gutters overflow into fascia, siding, walkways, and foundation areas, which leads to rot, erosion, and basement water problems. In Central Iowa, heavy rain and seasonal leaf drop make clogs happen quickly. Serving Des Moines, Ankeny, Altoona, West Des Moines, Waukee, Urbandale, Johnston, Ames, and Grimes.

We remove debris from the full gutter system and verify water flow, including downspout clearing where blockages typically hide. This is not a scoop-the-first-few-feet-and-leave job. The point is restored drainage, not cosmetic effort.

Most homes benefit from cleaning after spring storms and again after fall leaf drop, especially properties with mature trees. Regular cleaning also helps catch loose hangers, seam leaks, and pitch problems early. Preventing a repair is cheaper than paying for one later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should gutters be cleaned in Iowa?

Most homes need at least once per year. Tree-heavy properties often need twice, especially after fall leaf drop.

Do you clear downspouts too?

Yes. A clean gutter still fails if the downspout is blocked, so we verify flow and clear obstructions as needed.

What are signs my gutters are clogged?

Overflow during rain, staining on siding, water pooling near the foundation, and plant growth in the gutter are common signs.

Can clogged gutters damage fascia?

Yes. Standing water and overflow accelerate fascia rot and can push water into places it should not go.

Do gutter guards eliminate cleaning?

They reduce frequency, but most systems still need periodic inspection and occasional cleaning depending on debris and roof type.

Will cleaning fix overflow problems?

If debris is the cause, yes. If slope, sizing, or outlet placement is the cause, cleaning alone will not solve it.

Do you inspect for issues during cleaning?

Yes. We commonly spot loose hangers, seam leaks, and pitch problems while cleaning.

Is there a best time to schedule?

Late fall after leaf drop and spring after storm season are the two most common times in Central Iowa.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Free, no-pressure estimates across Central Iowa.
