Gutter Cleaning
Gutter Cleaning Across the Wasatch Front
Gutters are boring right up until they are not. When a run blocks, water backs up under the shingle edge, spills down the fascia, and in a Utah winter it freezes there and builds an ice dam that pushes water back up under the roof.
We clear the runs and the downspouts, flush them, and check that the water is actually leaving where it should.
Why we mention this on a roofing site
Because we are already on the roof. Gutters are where the evidence lives: granules washing off the shingles collect at the downspout outlets, and a handful of grit in a gutter tells you more about the state of a roof than a look from the driveway does.
So a gutter clean here comes with a free look at the shingles and photos if we find anything. No obligation attached to that, and no upsell scripted around it.
When to get it done
- Late autumn, once the leaves are actually down. Cleaning in September means doing it twice.
- Early spring, to clear whatever the winter dropped and to check for ice damage at the eaves.
- After a wind event, which on the Davis County bench can mean several times a year.
- Any time water is overflowing the front edge in a rainstorm. That one is not optional.
If the roof above them turns out to be drying out, that is a separate conversation and a separate quote. See roof rejuvenation.
Common questions
About gutter cleaning
How do I know if I need a repair or a full roof restoration?
Repair fixes one spot. Restoration treats the whole roof.
If you have a leak in one corner, a few shingles lifted by wind, or flashing pulling away from a chimney, that is a repair. If the roof is 12 to 25 years old, the color has gone flat, the edges are curling and the gutters have grit in them, the whole surface is drying out at once and a repair only buys you a season.
Most inspections turn up both. We do the repairs first, then treat the roof, because sealing a treatment over a bad shingle just hides it.
What if my roof actually needs replacing?
Then we say so, and we do not charge you for finding out.
Every homeowner gets the before-and-after photo report either way. If the answer is "this roof is done", you walk away with documentation you can hand to a roofer or an insurance adjuster. We would rather lose the job than treat a roof that cannot be saved.
