What Does Gutter Cleaning Cost?

     

In Tyler, our gutter cleaning service costs 10 cents per square foot of home. Gutter cleaning services are all unique to a home's surroundings. However, we are able to offer up-front pricing based on the size of the house.After reviewing hundreds of invoices, we discovered that the pricing varied only slightly for gutter cleaning, regardless of the shape or style home. 

We clean from the top down. We clear the roof of debris, clean the gutters of debris and clear any clogged downspouts. Debris we generate with the service are collected from around the home and we leave no mess behind.

Why are there gutters on my home?

Gutters have to primary purposes. First, gutters prevent water from pooling around the foundation of a home. When water pools around a foundation, it can seep into the soil and cause the foundation to shift or crack. This can lead to serious and costly damage.
Second, gutters help to direct water away from the walls of a structure. When water flows over siding or even masonry, it can be absorbed or find ingress and cause leaking. Gutters keep the water off painted surfaces and masonry walls to preserve longevity and protect your investment. 

Gutters may not be the most exciting thing to think about, but most people will agree that any maintenance that prevents damage and expensive repairs is worth consideration. Routine maintenance of gutters is simply cleaning. If the gutters are cleaned frequently, debris will not accumulate and the gutters will not overflow, assuming they are installed correctly. The gutters must never be level or sagging. 

 

When gutters appear to be clean but water still accumulates in them, it is likely they have begun to sag and possibly pull away from the fascia of the home. One tell-take sign of this condition is that the fasteners are loose. If nails or gutter spikes are visible when looking up, the gutter is not secure. Gutters hold a lot of weight when full of water. A full gutter can weigh between 8 - 10 lbs. per foot if it holds nothing but water. A full 20 foot length of residential can weigh 200 lbs!
If you consider that same aluminum gutter weighs 1/3 of a lb. per foot, an empty 20 foot length would weigh only 6 lbs. when clean. Commercial gutters are even heavier when filled.
Gutter fasteners can also be of a different type, that is visible only from above. A tell-tale sign of sagging in that case would be if the front of the gutter is tilting down, or lots of streaks are present on the face of the gutter.

How Often Should I Clean My Gutters?

It takes a ball of debris the size of a fist to clog an entire gutter system. Considering that an overflowing gutter can cause damage such as mold in the walls, cracked foundation, erosion, loosening of mortar joints, damage to paint, etc… It makes sense to clean your gutters frequently. It is an inexpensive way to prevent all sorts of damages. We recommend at least a bi-annual cleaning, but quarterly cleanings are commonly requested by clients that wish to keep their system functional long-term. 

We also recommend that you consider gutter guards. These improve your gutter system’s efficiency, reliability, and longevity by preventing clogged gutters. They also reduce the frequency of gutter cleaning.
