In winter, clogged gutters create ice dams that damage roofs and gutters. Professional gutter cleaning twice yearly prevents expensive repairs!
Gutters direct rainwater away from your foundation, siding, and landscaping. When they clog with leaves and debris, water overflows causing damage that costs thousands to repair.
In Howard County, where mature trees shed enormous quantities of leaves in fall, gutter cleaning isn't optional—it's essential home maintenance.
Our 39 years of experience has shown us the damage clogged gutters cause and how simple preventative cleaning avoids these expensive problems.

Most Ellicott City homes benefit from cleaning twice per year: late fall (October-November) after leaves have fallen, and spring (April-May) to remove winter debris. Properties with heavy tree coverage may need additional mid-season cleanings. Skipping gutter cleaning risks foundation damage, basement flooding, roof leaks, and ice dams costing thousands to repair. Regular professional cleaning is far less expensive than water damage.
Clogged gutters cause multiple serious problems: overflowing water saturates foundation soil leading to cracks, settlement, and basement flooding ($10,000-$50,000 repairs); water backing under roof shingles rots decking causing leaks and interior damage ($5,000-$15,000); winter ice dams damage roofs and gutters requiring replacement; overflow erodes landscaping; standing water breeds thousands of mosquitoes. All preventable with regular cleaning.

Professionals have training, commercial equipment, and safety protocols. Thoroughness matters—we completely clear downspouts, inspect for problems, verify drainage while DIY often misses areas.
