Gutter and Downspout Cleaning (Gutter Cleaning)

Protect Your Roof. Shield Your Foundation. Keep Your Yard & Home Safe for Winter.

🌧️ What Is Gutter and Downspout Cleaning?

Gutter Cleaning means clearing leaves, sticks, pine needles, debris, old mulch, dirt — anything that blocks water flow — out of roof gutters and downspouts. This ensures rainwater and snow-melt drains properly off your roof and away from your home.

Downspout Cleaning ensures those drains stay clear all the way down, avoiding clogs that can make gutters overflow or back up.

🛡️ Why Gutter Cleaning Matters — Especially in Cincinnati

• When gutters are clogged, water overflows and can seep into siding, roof fascia/soffits, or backup toward the foundation — risking water damage, rot, leaks, or basement flooding.

• Overflow water can erode soil or damage landscaping beds and hardscape around your home — raining damage on your hardscape and planting investment.

• Clogged gutters can attract pests, rodents, or standing-water issues (mosquitoes, mold) —not good for your home or yard health.

• Regular cleaning prolongs the life of your gutters, avoids rust or rot from trapped moisture, and prevents costly structural repairs down the line.

Bottom line: gutter cleaning isn’t optional — it’s critical home maintenance.

💰 Pricing Expectations

Gutter cleaning cost varies depending on:

• Home size and gutter length

• Number of downspouts

• Amount of debris / clogs

• Ease of access (one-story vs multi-story, ladder safety)

• Disposals / hauling debris away

Typical mid-sized home runs between $99–$199 per cleaning for regular maintenance.Larger homes or heavy debris loads may run $199–$349+ — still cheaper than the damage from neglect.

🔄 Best Services to Pair With Gutter Cleaning

• Debris Cleanup (yards, leaves)

• Downspout Extensions / Drainage Work

• Concrete & Patio Maintenance (to protect hardscape from runoff)

❓ FAQ — Gutter Cleaning Edition

Q: How often should I clean gutters?

A: At least twice a year — spring and fall. More often if you’ve got big trees or heavy debris.

Q: What happens if gutters stay clogged?

A: Water overflows — leads to roof damage, siding rot, foundation cracks, basement flooding, soil erosion, and landscaping loss.

Q: Do you handle downspout cleaning and final drainage too?

A: Yes — we flush the full system, clear debris, and inspect drainage to protect your foundation and beds.

Q: Is gutter cleaning safe to DIY?

A: Could be — but ladders, roof height, old gutters, and safety hazards make it risky. Better to book a pro and avoid the liability.

Q: Do you offer gutter guard installation or upgrades?

A: Can — as an add-on. Gutter cleaning + guard install gives long-term peace of mind.
