Gutter Cleaning in Central Indiana

Cleared out, flushed, and checked, not just scooped

A gutter cleaning that stops at scooping leaves out debris isn't really finished. We hand-clean every trough, then flush each downspout with water to confirm it actually drains, since a clog below the surface causes the exact same overflow as a full gutter. While we're up there, we check for sagging hangers, separated seams, and granule buildup that can point to roof wear worth mentioning.

Central Indiana has two heavy clog seasons: spring, when maple seed pods and pollen turn into a thick sludge, and fall, when oak and maple leaf drop fills a trough in a matter of weeks. Most homes need cleaning at least twice a year to stay ahead of both; homes with mature tree canopy, common throughout Anderson and Pendleton, often need a mid-season visit too.

The bigger reason to stay on top of it is winter. A gutter that can't drain during a January thaw backs water up under the roof edge, where it refreezes overnight into an ice dam, one of the more expensive problems a home can develop, since it can lift shingles and let water into the fascia and soffit. Clearing gutters before the first hard freeze is the cheap insurance against that.
