Gutter Cleaning

While you can’t see into your gutters from street level, dirty gutters are a plague on your home’s cleanliness. As organic debris accumulates, you may find dirt and debris streaks littering your home’s façade. In even more serious cases, this debris can lead to leaks and mold growth in and on your home. At Westchester Power Washing, we know how this debris can seriously hurt your home’s curb appeal and the health of your loved ones, which is why we provide expert gutter cleaning services. 

Pressure Washing Your Gutters

Clean gutters are essential for directing storm water away from your home. However, throughout the year, your gutters become a catch-all for debris. When storms roll into town, fallen leaves and other organic materials may make themselves at home in your gutters. As this debris accumulates and your gutters begin to clog, you may also notice an increase in pest activity around your property. 

While this pest activity is frustrating, it is nothing compared to the risk of water infiltration, mold growth, and foundation damage. While you might not consider dirty gutters a significant problem, it can lead to costly damage and major heartache. To help homeowners ensure the safety and well-being of their loved ones and property, we provide expert gutter cleaning services. 

Our team of experts provides reliable pressure washing to remove the toughest debris from your home’s gutters. Whether your gutters are filled with decomposing leaves, grass clippings, or pest nests, our dependable gutter cleaning services ensure your Westchester County home always looks its best.

The Benefits of Regular Gutter Cleanings

Although you might think gutter cleaning is easy to perform on your own, it can be difficult to clean your gutters thoroughly. Instead of attempting this cleaning on your own, turn to our team at Westchester Power Washing for support. There are many benefits to investing in this expert service, including: 

• Prevent Flooding: Clogged gutters struggle to direct storm water away from your house and may instead direct it toward your roof. As water levels rise, they can damage delicate roofing materials, flood your home’s basement, and cause mold growth across your property. Gutter cleaning ensures water can flow through your gutters and away from your space. 
• Keep Pests at Bay: As debris accumulates in your gutters, they become the perfect place for pests to build their nests. From cockroaches and mice to birds and squirrels, these pests can cause serious damage to the gutter and your home. By scheduling regular cleanings, you can discourage these pests from making themselves comfortable in your space. 
• Extend the Life of Your Gutters: When properly cared for, gutters can last up to 20 years. However, when you disregard gutter cleaning, these systems may become heavy, pull away from your home, rust, crack, and break. By scheduling regular cleanings, you can save yourself from costly replacements. 
• Protect Your Foundation: When water pools along your foundation, it can cause cracks in the concrete. As temperatures drop and water seeps into the cracks, it may freeze. This freeze-thaw cycle can cause the cracks to worsen, leading to potential structural problems. 

Best Time of Year for Gutter Cleaning

If you want to ensure you get the most out of your cleaning, it is important to schedule at an optimal time. But when is the best time to schedule this service? The best times of year to clean your gutters are spring and fall. In the fall, leaves and debris tend to accumulate, increasing the risk of clogged gutters, which can lead to water damage. 

After most leaves have dropped, scheduling a cleaning in late fall ensures your gutters are clear before winter snow and ice arrive. This prevents potential ice dams or overflowing water during melting periods. Spring is also an ideal time for gutter cleanings. After winter storms, gutters can collect debris, such as twigs, leaves, and dirt, which can cause blockages. 

A thorough cleaning in the spring helps ensure your gutters are ready for spring and summer rain showers, protecting your home’s foundation, roof, and landscaping. For optimal maintenance, consider scheduling cleanings twice a year—once in the fall and once in the spring. Homes with heavy tree coverage may require additional cleanings throughout the year.
