Who clears blocked gutters in Graham?

Roosevelt Roofing does, along with a few other local roofers and gutter crews. Who clears blocked gutters in Graham, and how can you tell a thorough job from a quick one? Ask what actually happens on the roof. Ours combines hand-cleaning with high-pressure flushing. We clear the downspouts too, and we look the gutters over for leaks and damage while we're up there.

Searching for gutter cleaning Graham? Here's the local problem. Plenty of lots out here sit under tall evergreens. Evergreens drop needles, cones and bark bits all year, and moss slides off the roof in wet weather too. Needles are small enough to pack tight, so a gutter that looks half-clear from the ground can still hold a dam of mush.

We clean it out, bag it and leave the yard tidy. Before we start, we walk the roofline and note any sagging gutter, loose hanger or rusty seam. We'd rather tell you now than watch a good cleaning get undone by a gutter pulling away. If a roof keeps clogging no matter what, we can talk about gutter guards, though no guard stops every needle. Our roof and gutter cleaning page lists everything we do.

Why is cleaning your own gutters dangerous?

Because it means working on a ladder at the roof edge, and ladder falls injure people badly, even trained ones. The CDC reports that work-related ladder falls caused 113 deaths and an estimated 34,000 emergency room visits in 2011 alone. It calls these injuries severe but preventable. If people who use ladders for a living get hurt that often, a Saturday project deserves caution.

Gutter work adds its own risks:

• Reaching sideways. You lean to scoop one more handful, and that's when ladders tip.

• Wet needles and moss. They make rungs, shingles and the ground slick.

• Soft or sloped ground under the ladder feet, which is common on rural lots

• Steep or two-story eaves, where a fall is a lot farther

None of this means you can't do it. It means that it's a risky job, so many homeowners have it done by a professional after evaluating their own situation. If you do it yourself, make sure the floor is solid and place the ladder on a stable, level surface. Also ask someone to help you and hold on to the ladder at all times, keeping your three points of contact. The CDC's NIOSH has a free Ladder Safety app that has a checklist for using an extension ladder.

How often do gutters need clearing under trees?

At least twice a year, in spring and fall, and more often when trees hang over the roof. That's our own rule of thumb, and it holds up well in Pierce County. Conifer needle and debris clearing Graham properties need is less about the calendar. It depends more on what the trees are doing.

Conifers rarely have a single shedding period. Needles tend to fall daily, and the plant will shed heavily in the autumn. Storms bring cones and small twigs, so a clogged gutter may be the result of one particularly windy night. A wet winter spells trouble for the clogged gutters, as the clogged gutters are at their worst when it rains the most.

Meanwhile, watch for signs between visits. Water spilling over the edge during rain is the obvious one. Sagging gutters, stains on siding below the eaves and little green sprouts growing in the trough are others. If you see sprouts, then the gutter has been holding debris for a while. The fall visit should be after most of the needle drop, not that before it happens, because a cleaning too early just leaves room for a second one.

Which company near me flushes downspouts as well as gutters?

One that treats the downspout as part of the job, and we do. Which company near me flushes downspouts as well as gutters? Ask before you book because a clear gutter with a clogged downspout still overflows. We will combine hand cleaning with high pressure flushing and clear the downspouts so that water flows all the way down.

Downspout flushing and clearing Graham homes get matters more than it sounds. The Department of Energy's Building America program has a helpful guide on their website that states that a few inches of rain on a roof can create several thousand gallons of run off. This water needs to go somewhere, and it's important that it doesn't end up right next to the foundation, it should be 5 or more feet away. One way this can happen is if the downspout extension is missing or pushed in, causing water to fall right next to your foundation. If you see this please let us know!.

We'll test the flow when we're done. If water backs up or trickles, we know something's still stuck. If a downspout drains into an underground line that stays blocked, a normal flush won't fix it. We'll tell you so instead of leaving you guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What actually happens if gutters are left uncleaned?

Water goes where it shouldn't. Gutters that are plugged with leaves can overflow and cause water to run down the side of the house, saturating siding, working its way into the foundation, and causing basement or crawlspace leaks. Stagnant water in a clogged trough is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and rodents, and promotes mold. In winter, the overflow of blocked gutters often causes ice dams that allow water to get underneath shingles. All of these things can start small, but by the time most people realize it they've caused thousands of dollars worth of damage.

2. How often do gutters need clearing on a property under trees?

At least twice a year and more often if trees are close. Plan a pass after the big autumn drop and again in spring and make sure to check after any hard windstorm. If you see sprouts coming up in the trough or water running down the bank you're due for a call before the next storm.

3. Do you flush the downspouts through as well as clearing the gutters?

Yes. We clean the gutters by hand, rinse them with high-pressure water and clear the downspouts to ensure water flows freely. If there is a blockage deep in underground drain line, which requires more than just a surface cleaning by us, we'll inform you of the situation honestly, instead of giving you false hope that the obstruction has been cleared. Either way, you'll know exactly what we found.

4. Can you reach gutters on a steep or two-storey roof safely?

Yes, as working at height is what our crews are trained to do. We'll bring the right equipment and safe working practices to your site, and check the roof before we climb. If the roof is too steep, or slippery with rain, or just plain fragile that day, we'll let you know and work out an alternative plan.

5. Do you offer a recurring autumn and spring service?

Yes. We recommend at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. We'll help you set up a maintenance plan so you won't even have to keep track of it. When you call ask about having a schedule set up. Tell them how many trees are hanging over the roof so they can space out the visits to fit your needs. That way spring and fall won't sneak up on you because they've already been placed on the schedule.
