Gutter cleaning
What a Paxton gutter cleaning covers
A cleaning clears the whole path the water takes, from the trough to the bottom of each downspout.
By hand
Debris is lifted out of the gutter rather than blown along it, which would only push a blockage toward the outlet.
Outlets and elbows
The opening at the top of each downspout and the bends in the pipe are cleared, since that is where packed leaves stop the flow.
Downspouts flushed
Water is run through every downspout to prove it drains to the bottom.
Debris removed
What comes out is bagged and taken with us, not left on the lawn or in the beds.
Damage reported
A leaking seam, a loose hanger or a split downspout found during the cleaning is reported to you.
Is it time?
Signs the gutters are full
Water over the front edge
A sheet of water falling from the lip of the gutter in a rain, instead of running out of the downspouts.
Green growth
Grass or seedlings sprouting from the gutter, which means soil has built up in the trough.
Dark streaks on the siding
Stains below the gutter where water has been spilling over it.
A downspout that barely runs
A trickle at the bottom while the gutter above it fills.
Downspouts
Where the water lands
Each downspout decides where the roof water meets the ground, and a poor spot shows up at entries, walkways and the base of the walls. Downspout changes can go on the same request as a cleaning, and both are done on one trip under one quote.
Moved
A downspout that empties by the back steps or a side door can be moved to a corner where the water has room to run off.
Extended
An extension carries the water past a walkway or away from the wall before it reaches the ground.
Added
A long run with one outlet can take a second downspout, so less water heads for any one spot.
Reconnected
A pipe that has come apart at a joint or dropped off the outlet is put back together and sealed.
Above ground only
Our drainage work ends at the downspout outlet. Buried drain pipe, French drains and yard grading are not work we take on.
Limits
What a cleaning will not fix
Some gutter trouble looks like a clog and is not. If it is still there once the gutter is clear, it needs a repair.
A drip from one joint
Water falling from a corner or seam in every rain is a failed seal, and it is resealed.
Water pooling in one stretch
A run that has dropped holds water in the low spot. The hangers are reset so it drains again.
Spilling over a clean gutter
If a clear gutter still overflows, the run may be too flat or have too few downspouts for the roof above it.
Water behind the gutter
Water running down the fascia means the gutter sits too low or too far out from the roof edge.
Your quote
What sets the price of a cleaning
A cleaning is quoted as one price for the property.
Feet of gutter
The total length of gutter across the house and any other buildings.
Stories
Upper eaves take more setup to reach than first-floor ones.
How full
Gutters packed with soil and growth take longer than a layer of dry leaves.
Guards
Whether the guards on the gutter can be lifted to reach the trough. You are told at the quote if yours cannot.
Guards and repeat cleanings
If the gutters fill again within a few months, there are two ways to handle it. A cleaning can be set to repeat, so it happens without you having to call each time. Or guards can be fitted over the gutters you have, once they are cleaned and any loose or leaking section is repaired. Guards keep leaves and pine straw out of the trough, but fine grit still gets through and straw that sits on top may need brushing off, so guarded gutters still need a check now and then.
When to book a cleaning
A cleaning lasts longest when it comes after the trees over the roof have dropped their leaves, because the gutters are then cleared of the whole load rather than part of it. If water is already spilling over a door or a walk, there is no reason to wait for that. Gutters in the open, with nothing hanging over them, fill slowly and can go longer between cleanings.
When a Paxton gutter is past cleaning
Gutters that leak at joint after joint, have rusted through or keep sagging after repairs are replaced rather than cleaned again. The old gutters come down and are hauled away, and new seamless runs are formed on site to the length of each eave, in a color matched to the trim.
