Why Gutter Cleaning Matters

Gutters direct rainwater away from your foundation, siding, and landscaping. When they clog — and in Howard County's tree-lined neighborhoods they will — overflow causes damage that costs thousands to repair. Fall and spring cleaning should be part of every homeowner's routine maintenance.

Damage Clogged Gutters Cause

🏠

Foundation Damage

Overflow saturates soil around the foundation, creating pressure that cracks walls and floods basements.

Repairs: $10,000–$50,000+
🏚️

Roof Leaks

Water backs up under shingles, rotting roof decking and fascia boards — leading to ceiling and wall damage inside.

Repairs: $5,000–$15,000
🧊

Ice Dams

Frozen water in clogged gutters blocks drainage, forces water under shingles, and can tear gutters off entirely.

Landscape & Pest Damage

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Twice a year for most Howard County homes — fall (Oct–Nov) and spring (Apr–May). Properties with heavy oak or pine coverage may need an additional mid-season cleaning. Skipping creates foundation, roof, and ice dam risks that cost far more than routine cleaning.

What's included in the service?

Complete debris removal from all gutters, downspout flushing and clearing, a full system inspection (hangers, seams, pitch, rust), and property cleanup. All removed material is hauled away — nothing left on your lawn or driveway.

Can I clean gutters myself instead?

You can, but professional service is safer (no ladder risk), faster (45–90 min vs. 3–4 hours), more thorough (we clear downspouts and inspect for damage), and cleaner (we haul everything away). For most Ellicott City homeowners, the value is clear.

When is the best time to schedule?

Late fall is critical — after leaves drop but before winter freezes set in. Many customers bundle fall gutter cleaning with fall cleanup for convenience and savings. Fall appointments fill quickly, so schedule early.
