Professional Gutter Cleaning in Alamogordo, NM
White Sands dust removal, debris clearing & monsoon preparation. Protect your home before storm season.
Why Gutter Cleaning is Critical in Alamogordo
Alamogordo gutters need cleaning twice yearly: Pre-monsoon (June) to ensure capacity for July-September storms, and fall (October) to remove accumulated debris and White Sands gypsum dust. Our concentrated monsoon rainfall—up to 1 inch in 30 minutes—overwhelms clogged gutters instantly, causing foundation damage. Windblown dust from White Sands accumulates year-round. Professional cleaning: $120-250 depending on home size and debris level.
Living in Alamogordo means dealing with unique debris challenges. While we don't have the heavy tree coverage of wetter climates, our proximity to White Sands National Park and desert winds create ongoing accumulation issues that make regular gutter cleaning essential.
White Sands Gypsum Dust
Prevailing southwest winds carry fine gypsum particles from White Sands dunes. This white dust settles in gutters year-round, gradually reducing capacity. When combined with organic debris and moisture, it can form a cement-like sludge that's difficult to remove and blocks water flow completely.
Homes on the west side of Alamogordo or in areas with direct White Sands exposure see heavier accumulation. Regular cleaning prevents this buildup from hardening and becoming a major problem.
Pre-Monsoon Preparation
June cleaning before monsoon season (typically begins early July) is the most critical service of the year. Even light debris or dust accumulation reduces capacity enough to cause overflow during intense thunderstorm downpours. We recommend scheduling this service in late May or early June—appointments fill quickly as monsoon approaches.
Seasonal Debris
Despite the desert environment, Alamogordo has landscape trees, Russian olives, and vegetation that drop leaves and organic material. Spring winds bring additional debris. Fall cleaning (October) removes this accumulated material and prepares gutters for winter moisture and the next season.
Our Professional Cleaning Process
Complete Debris Removal
Hand-remove all White Sands dust, organic debris, and accumulated sediment. More effective than just blowing debris which can compact in downspouts.
Downspout Flushing
High-pressure water flush clears all downspouts. Critical in Alamogordo where dust can pack solidly in elbows and outlets.
Flow Testing
Test water flow through entire system to verify drainage and identify any slope or mounting issues.
Inspection Report
During cleaning we inspect for UV damage, leaks, or problems. You receive verbal report with photos of issues requiring attention.
Complete Haul-Away
All removed debris bagged and hauled away—not dumped in landscaping. Property left clean.
