Clean Your Gutters. Your House Will Thank You
We're not in a rainy part of the world, and you won't accumulate as many pine needles in your gutters as folks in Seattle. But you still can't ignore your gutters. Regular gutter cleaning prevents damage to your foundation, erosion around your property, and potential flooding.
When clogged gutters overflow, water will pool around your foundation. This causes hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls, or the force of water pressing in. Depending on how long the water is there, or how often it rains, this can actually weaken your foundation, cause cracks and bending, and lead to moisture sweating through the concrete into your basement. Then, that can lead to mold, mildew and pests that wouldn't be there otherwise (not to mention structural damage. Your soil may also erode if you don't clean your gutters and downspouts -- and we will address that in greater detail below.
You will also need to watch out for issues near your roofline as well. Birds, rodents, wasps, mosquitoes and other bugs love to nest in clogged gutters. Don't let this happen to you. And overflowing gutters can lead to wood rot within the wood fascia near the roof as well.
All things considered, a routine gutter cleaning is affordable, quick and painless - all you have to do is call us. This can save you from a tremendous amount of expense and hassle in the future.
We'll Clean Your Downspouts Too
Don't forget to have your downspouts thoroughly cleaned too. Downspouts direct water away from your home, and any blockage in these can completely negate the benefits of clean gutters. We use specialized tools to clear any debris from your downspouts to make sure that water flows freely. And we never leave before we flush water down the downspout to make sure it's working correctly.
Do You Need To Clean Your Gutters Often?
Homeowners often ask us how frequently they should clean their gutters. In Folsom, we recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall. This schedule ensures that your gutters are clear of debris from seasonal changes, such as falling leaves in autumn and springtime blooms. However, homes surrounded by many trees might need more frequent cleaning. We don't have a lot of rain in Folsom compared to other parts of the country, but the region's seasonal rains can quickly cause gutters to clog with leaves, dirt, and other debris. Even a moderate amount of rainfall can create problems if your gutters are not properly maintained.

Other Drainage and Moisture Services
Please note that we focus on gutter cleaning, we do not try to upsell clients on expensive projects that they don't need. But if you do need more help than simply a gutter cleaning, we are more than happy to help.
French Drains and Sump Pump Installation
French drains are trench systems designed to redirect water away from areas prone to flooding or pooling, such as your home's foundation. We would install a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, buried underground to collect and channel the water away from your foundation. Sump pumps are often installed in basements or crawl spaces, and they actively remove water that collects in low areas and pump it away from your home. If you have issues with water in the basement or pooling on your patio, we can help.
Gutter Guards
Gutter guards are protective covers installed over gutters to block leaves, debris, and pests. They help prevent clogs, overflows, and damage caused by stagnant water. We may recommend mesh screens, foam inserts, or other designs, and in short, gutter guards reduce maintenance needs and extend the lifespan of your gutters.
Gutter Replacement
If your gutters are bent, cracked, or pulling away from the roofline, you may need a new set of gutters. We can talk you through the look, cost, and benefits of different materials like aluminum, copper, or vinyl, and we'll find a style that matches your home. We then remove the old system, fit the new one perfectly, and professionally install the new gutter system.
Downspout Replacements
You can't properly maintain your home without functioning downspouts. Sometimes we need to add extensions and splash blocks to take water further away from your home, sometimes we need to patch a hole or remove a clog, and other times we need to install a new downspout altogether. It's part of an effective gutter system.
Grading
Does the ground properly slope away from your foundation at the proper angle? If not, you may be dealing with moisture in your home or unnecessary hydrostatic pressure. We can measure the grade, bring in additional soil or gravel, and use either hand tools or machinery to properly direct water away from the base of your home.
