Why do gutter cleaning?
Depending on the trees around the house, it may be necessary to do gutter cleaning once or twice a year. Wait for the right time to remove leaves and thorns that fall from the trees. If you don't have a mature tree overhanging your gutters, then you can wait a long time before thinking about gutter cleaning.
When to do gutter cleaning
This is a common question, the answer varies depending on the time of year when your trees drop the most leaves, fruit or thorns. Depending on your situation, it will be best for you to opt for either a gutter cleaning in late fall or late spring or maybe both. Of course, if you notice that your gutters are clogged, you should clean them immediately. You can then do this or call a cleaning company such as Cleaning Experts. Take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of our residential window cleaning service.
How do I clean gutters?
Gutter cleaning can be done simply by hand on a ladder or by walking on the roof. It is also possible to use the garden hose, or even better a small electric pressure washer. The use of water is effective when residue plugs need to be removed from downspouts and bends. Also, if you have a powerful air compressor, this can be used to clean gutters with air pressure by blowing away dirt. To simplify things, Nettoyage Experts offers teams that can adapt to your home. We will therefore proceed with the cleaning of your gutters with efficiency thanks to ladders and equipment adapted to the different situations.
Cleaning gutters by hand
If your gutter is easy to access, cleaning by hand is a good solution, as it prevents blowing or splashing dirt on your home. All you have to do is put on gardening gloves and carry with you a few garbage bags that you will fill with the dirt from your gutters. One of the advantages of manual gutter cleaning is the possibility of taking advantage of it to also clean the outside of the gutter with a brush or a cloth (without splashing the windows and walls).
Pressure gutter washing by our professionals
Your gutter may be high and difficult to access. If this is the case, calling our professionals who are equipped to facilitate gutter cleaning is a good solution. For example, we use long poles curved at the top to wash gutters with high water pressure without a ladder. We have several cleaning nozzles and we can adjust the power of our cleaning. So we can clean the leaves with light pressure and unblock an elbow with a rotating head by increasing the water pressure a little....
Avoiding damage to your gutter
If you lean a ladder on your gutter to climb up and clean it, be careful. Too many angles cause a lot of pressure on the gutter and you could damage it. Using a high-pressure cleaning pole or cleaning while walking on the roof avoids this risk. Especially if your gutter is old and fragile, you will have to be careful.
How do I know if I need to have the gutters cleaned?
The easiest way is to keep an eye on your gutters when it's raining to make sure the water is draining well. If you notice that the aligner is overflowing, then you need to act quickly, as this means that the liquid is not being drained as you would have liked. By looking at your gutters, you will also be able to see if they are in good condition or if they appear damaged. A damaged gutter, even if it is not clogged, can also cause damage or water infiltration in the home.
Do I need to put a protective screen on the gutters to avoid cleaning?
That's a good question. For 30 years, Nettoyage Experts has been cleaning gutters for hundreds of clients every spring and fall and we have seen a lot of possible scenarios. First, the answer is nuanced and it depends on your case.
Avoid gutter screens that complicate cleaning
Also, to help you as efficiently as possible, I will already eliminate bad solutions for you: flexible protective screens for gutters are a calamity and all those who have bought them have regretted it. These plastic or metal grids are placed on the gutter in a slightly curved manner. The idea sounds good in theory. In practice, everything that falls from the trees gets caught in the grate, decomposes and falls into the gutter. It is then necessary to remove these bad screens to clean the dirty gutter... That's extra work and unnecessary costs for you!
Efficient mesh that will avoid the need to clean gutters
However, there is a kind of quality and effective gutter protective wire mesh that we often come across. It is a rigid aluminum plate with small slots that are a centimeter or two long and a millimeter wide. Securely screwed onto your gutters by professionals, this system leaves no gaps for dirt to enter. The cracks are small and even the thorns of conifers can't get in, or at least very little. This system is especially effective if your gutters are new and straight. Then it's a good option. If your roof has a lot of angles, you will have to remember to clean the dirt that will accumulate on the grid in the concave corners and that's it. A little sweep will do the trick.
Thus, the above system is a good solution to avoid gutter cleaning. You will still have to be vigilant and make sure that nothing moves over the years and that everything remains well sealed against dirt. In fact, all it takes is a branch that falls to create an opening in the protection and the gutter could become clogged without it being visible since the plate blocks the view. In such a case, professionals may be needed to unscrew the protection, clean the affected area and reinstall the portion of the grill in question...
