Gutter Cleaning 

Professional Gutter Cleaning Service

At Quality Gutter and Window Cleaning, our gutter cleaning process is designed to protect your property by ensuring your gutters and downspouts are free of blockages and flowing efficiently. Clogged gutters can lead to costly damage, including foundation issues, roof leaks, and water intrusion. That’s why we follow a thorough, hands-on process to keep your gutter system functioning properly.

There are many ways to clean gutters — from blowers to vacuums and everything in between — but we believe nothing beats a hands-on approach. By physically removing debris and inspecting the system up close, we can ensure a more precise clean and identify any early signs of wear or damage that other methods might miss.

Step-by-Step Gutter Cleaning Process

  1. Safety First
    Before any cleaning begins, we first assess whether the roof is safe and suitable to walk on. Once that’s confirmed, we set up our ladders using standoff bars to rest securely against the roof — not the gutters to avoid any damage. After the ladder is in place, we install proper fall protection systems to meet safety standards and ensure the job is performed securely and responsibly.

  2. Manual Debris Removal
    We begin by manually removing all debris from the gutters. This includes leaves, twigs, moss, shingle grit, and any other organic material that may be obstructing water flow. We use hand scoops and buckets to safely collect debris.

  3. Downspout Clearing & Flushing
    Once the gutter troughs are clear, we flush the entire system with water to test and clean the downspouts. This ensures that water flows freely from the roof through to the ground drainage system. If a downspout is clogged, we carefully disassemble as needed to restore proper function.

  4. Clean-Up & Disposal
    All debris removed from your gutter system is collected and disposed of properly. If there is a designated compost area or a place on the property suitable for organic waste, we will leave the debris there. If not, we’ll remove and dispose of it ourselves off-site. We always ensure the surrounding landscaping and exterior surfaces are left clean and undisturbed.

  5. Fall Protection Removal & Sealing
    After the work is completed, we carefully remove any screws used during the installation of fall protection systems. Each hole is sealed with a high-grade, long-lasting roofing sealant — one that is designed to outlast the life of the roof itself — ensuring your home remains completely watertight.
