Gutter Cleaning Tips for This Fall

Posted on Oct 25 2022

 Gutter cleaning is one of those jobs that can be a lot easier to put off. Let’s face it: Gutter cleaning is not fun, and it’s certainly not an enjoyable task. However, you don’t have to suffer through your gutter cleaning alone! Here are some gutter cleaning tips for this fall:

Be Prepared

Before you start cleaning your gutters, make sure you have everything you need at hand. This includes a ladder, a bucket, brushes, rags and ladders. It also helps to have safety goggles and ear plugs on hand in case you drop something or make a lot of noise while working in your yard.

Cleaning Your Gutters

Once you’re ready to clean the gutters, start from the top down by removing any leaves and debris from the top of your gutters. Then use a brush or sponge to wipe down each section until it is clear of debris. Finally, use a hose to rinse away any remaining dirt or grime from the gutter itself.

Fall is a great time to get your gutters cleaned. The leaves have fallen, so you can easily see where they are clogging your gutters. If you don't clean your gutters when the leaves are still on the trees, they can become packed down and make it harder to clean. You also want to clean them before they freeze, which can cause damage to your gutters.

There are many different types of gutter systems, so it's important to know what kind you have before cleaning them. Here are some tips for cleaning each type of gutter system:

1) Metal gutters - The best way to clean metal gutters is with a pressure washer or power washer. A pressure washer won't damage the metal, but if you use a power washer, make sure that you're not using too high of a setting so that you don't damage your gutters. You should also avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia in order to avoid damaging them as well.

2) Plastic gutters - Plastic gutters tend to be easier than metal ones because they're more flexible and don't require as much maintenance as metal ones do. However, they do require regular cleaning in order to prevent mold from growing inside them over time.

If the project feels a little too much for yourself to handle, Clearview Gutters is ready to assist you! We are coming soon to the Boise, Idaho area. We are excited to serve our customers in this upcoming November!

Gutter Service FAQs

How often should I get my gutters cleaned?

We recommend cleaning your gutters twice per year… once in late autumn (after the bulk of the leaves have fallen) and again in late spring. Clear any debris from the roof valleys and gutter basins… and be sure to check the outlets that drain into the downspout pipes. This is the most common area for clogs to occur.

What is causing my gutter to start holding water?

The number one cause of standing water in the gutter basin is a clogged downspout. Regular cleanings can prevent this issue. Secondarily, homes can settle over time. Even if your installation was done correctly twenty years ago, and now they’re holding water and leaking, it could be because of the foundation settling and causing your gutters to not perform properly. We can fix slope problems.

Do you offer free estimate?

Yes, we offer dates and time windows of arrival to service any appointment of installation, repair, or cleaning. You can go to our “BOOK ONLINE” page to request a free estimate or call our office at 425-330-2300. We look forward to earning your business!

Does Clearview Gutters offer recurring maintenance?

In the Northwest you’re going to have a lot of home maintenance. We live in a damp environment that rains an average of 38 inches pear year. That’s a lot of water! We want to keep that water away from your foundation and crawl space. We have easily maintained recurring maintenance programs that can consist of roof blow offs, gutter cleaning and moss control to protect your roof and gutters. Proper maintenance can pay off and save you money.

When is it time to replace my gutters?

If your gutters are rusting out, leaking, or corroding they should have an estimator stop by to properly assess the problem areas and find if the gutters are able to be repaired or if you’ll need a partial replacement or a full replacement.

Is Clearview Gutters licensed, bonded and insured?

We are current with all legal obligations to perform work inside Idaho state.

Gregg was quick on the estimate, including followup questions and revisions. Everything was done promptly and as specified. Looks great now! No mess left behind, no weird gaps or other signs of poor work, everything went great. So nice not to have water going everywhere anymore!

I've used Clearview on two homes now and in each case the quality of the work was exceptional and they were extremely reliable. If you want your gutters done right the first time at a competitive price give them a call and let them do the work. I would recommend them to anyone.

Clearview Gutters are great to deal with! Fast response! Quality workmanship and very professional employer and employees! We have had numerous replacements done by Clearview Gutters due to the fact that some truck drivers don't look up when backing in to the bays. We appreciate this company and would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality work!

They cleaned up another company's mess. We had another company install gutters and they did such a poor job. When we complained they came and ripped everything down. Clearview Gutters worked with us on repairing the mess and installing new gutters. We were extremely pleased especially after the experience with the other company.

Prompt. Professional. Good job overall. I had gotten another estimate that was twice as high and told I needed to fix my gutters. Clearview gutters determined my gutters only needed to be cleaned - saving me $300.00. And with the recent rains, they seem to be just fine so I am very happy with my service.

We received a few bids on gutters for the house and shed and Clearview had the best pricing so we selected them to do the work. We met with Gregg to discuss our desires and received the estimate, which indicated white gutters as desired. When Gregg came out a few weeks later, we realized, about halfway through the work, that he was putting brown gutters on the house (brown was the color of the hou...

My experience with them was excellent. The price was good, and the quality of work was excellent. With regard to price, it was $200 and was the lowest bid I got.

Gregg did a great job. The gutters look great and don't leak. He was very punctual, and it came to less than the estimate. He was very nice to work with.

Gregg diagnosed the problem (gutter had been installed incorrectly, water couldn't drain properly. He had to order a special gutter to match the rest of the house. Called me when he was ready, and was able to schedule so I could keep dogs inside. Very happy!
