Professional Cleaning Process
Assessment
We inspect gutters and downspouts to identify debris levels and potential issues.
Debris Removal
Hand-scoop all leaves, seed pods, and buildup. Power-flush downspouts to clear blockages.
Downspout Flushing
Flush downspouts with high-pressure water to verify clear flow.
Minor Repairs
Seal small leaks, tighten loose brackets, adjust slope as needed.
Inspection
Full inspection for damage, rust, or issues requiring major repair.
Flow Testing
Test water flow to verify proper drainage. No pooling or backup.
Winter Ice & Snow Management
Lorain winters demand special gutter care. Ice dams form when roof heat melts snow at the eaves, water refreezes at the gutter, building up ice. This creates weight stress on gutters and forces water back under shingles into your home.
