Gutter Cleaning Services in Charlotte, NC

Cleaning Methods

So far, we’ve discovered that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to gutter cleaning. Thus we follow a hybrid approach when it comes to cleaning your gutters. We get up to the level of your gutters and use a combination of a leaf blower and scooping by hand to get ALL of the debris out of your gutters and ensure that your downspouts are clear of debris as well. We will employ the method that is the most efficient for your home and the conditions of your gutters. All while maintaining the top level of safety and preserving the cleanliness of your home and landscaping— leaving you with gutters that will perform and protect your home as designed. 

Over time, gutters accumulate debris that can obstruct the flow of rainwater. This leads to clogs, resulting in water overflowing onto your roof, siding, or even seeping into your foundation. The consequences of clogged gutters can be severe, including water damage, mold growth, and compromised structural integrity.

By scheduling regular cleanings, you can prevent these issues from arising and ensure that your gutters can effectively channel rainwater away from your home. Our team at The Brothers that just do Gutters can provide you with a comprehensive maintenance plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring your gutters are always in optimal condition.

Gutter Guards for Hassle-Free Maintenance

To save yourself from recurring costs of gutter cleaning services, consider our high-quality gutter guard system. This innovative solution keeps your gutters clear of leaves and debris, eliminating the need for frequent cleanings. Investing a bit more upfront in a gutter guard system proves cost-effective in the long run while strengthening your gutter system and increasing its longevity, particularly during heavy storms.

Identifying Overflowing or Leaky Gutters

If you notice leaks or overflowing water after a storm, it could indicate a clog in your gutters that requires cleaning. However, it may also be a sign that your gutters need repair. Here are some signs to pay attention to:

• Gutter overflow
• Visible debris in gutters
• No water flow from the downspout

To the untrained eye, an overflow caused by a clog may look similar to an overflow caused by damaged or improperly installed gutters.

Determining if you need gutter cleaning or repair

Cleaning: If you notice water overflowing at or near the downspout, it is a clear indication that you require gutter cleaning services. This occurrence suggests the presence of a blockage in the downspout, impeding the smooth flow of water down the drainage system.

Repair: On the other hand, overflow occurring in the middle of a gutter or at the opposite end of a downspout typically indicates the need for repair or reinstallation. This could be due to various reasons such as a pitch issue, undersized gutters, insufficient leaders or downspouts, or sagging/pulling gutters caused by age or installation problems.

Other signs your gutters need attention

Additional signs of overflow issues include stained or cracked walls, siding, or foundation, pooling near your foundation, and visible overflow from the front of the gutter or between the fascia and gutter during rainfall. If you have a downspout connected to an underground drain and notice wetness in the surrounding area, it is highly likely that the drain is clogged.

Best Time of Year to Clean Gutters:

We recommend cleaning your gutters in the spring before heavy rainfall increases and in the fall after all leaves have fallen. Our professionals at The Brothers that just do Gutters do not simply rely on leaf blowers to clean out gutters. We understand that gutters often contain more than just dry leaves, which is why we take extra precautions to ensure the cleanliness and integrity of the homes we service. Leaf blowers have the potential to spread dirt and mud, causing stains on windows, siding, patio furniture, and decks below. Moreover, leaf blowers are not effective in clearing clogs from downspouts. Merely cleaning the gutter without addressing a downspout clog will only lead to further clogging and the need for additional work in the future.
