Maintenance Program

 

Why does my gutter system need maintenance?

The maintenance program was designed to keep your gutter system working properly year round. We all know the importance of keeping your gutter system flowing properly, but more often than not, you don’t make a call for service on your gutters until you already have a problem. There are many consequences when you do not maintain your gutter system. Just a little debris can quickly clog the outlets, rendering them inoperable. If they do not work properly and overflow, that will cause erosion of the lawn, landscaping, and foundation. In some cases, this can even cause toxic mold. Also, the back splash caused by clogged gutters can lead to costly wood rot. Most gutter systems need to receive maintenance at least twice a year. Homes with leaf protection require less maintenance. However, depending on the homes size and complexity, the recommended number of annual maintenance visits may vary. Your salesman can give you his recommendation and the cost per visit for your particular home.

When you join our maintenance program, each visit includes the following:

  • Full clean out and flush of all gutters and downspouts

  • Reconnect all downspouts, elbows and extensions

  • Assure that end caps and miters are sealed properly

  • Check hangers and straphangers

  • Perform a flow check to insure water is flowing properly

 

Also, if you have underground drains we will remove the downspouts before hand to assure you that no further debris gets into your drains. We will then push water through the drains to force any debris out of the lines.
