Gutter Cleaning
From cleaning and clearing blocked gutters to repairing and replacing them.
Our team is experienced and equipped to look after your gutters, whether they are old and due for a replacement, warped, cracked or installed incorrectly.
Cleaning & Clearing blocked gutters
Gutters serve an important and protective function. Routine gutter cleaning and clearing ensure your home or commercial building is protected from water damage.
Gutters need to free flow in order to reroute water away from the building. This prevents backed-up water that can cause damage to the foundation and roof, as well as excess damp seeping into the building. Moss and mould growth due to the permanent dampness are also potential problems, causing deterioration of building materials and the requirement for more maintenance.
Repairing & Replacing gutters
Leaking, warped, rusted or sagging gutters are signs that you need to either have them repaired or replaced – it’s essential that this is done to protect your home or commercial building from water damage.
Rusted metal gutters typically need to be replaced where plastic gutters leaking can often be repaired. While if may seem an easy thing to DIY, it may pay to get a professional to help you. Our team will be able to diagnose what can be repaired and what should rather be replaced, have the materials and tools on-hand and the expertise to do the job properly. They might also be able to help you with cleaning any moss and mould build up due to the persistent dampness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the point of gutters?
Gutters are intended to keep rainwater off of your home’s foundation, walls, and roof. Gutters do this by channeling water to downspouts and away from the structure to prevent water damage, erosion, and flooding around the foundation. Properly working gutters can mean the difference between not having mold growth in homes, basement leaks, and/or damages to the landscaping.
How to fix gutters that overflow?
Gutter overflow can be repaired by clearing the blockage that is preventing water from flowing freely. Gutters should be pitched correctly toward the downspouts. The slope should be changed to allow for better drainage. If still overflowing, it may be that more downspouts need to be installed, or larger gutters, capable of handling more water, should be installed. It is also very important to install gutter guards to help prevent buildup.
