Because gutter cleaning often means ladders and roof access, it’s safest to hire a professional — especially if your home is more than one story.
Call a pro if:
Water is spilling over edges
You notice mold or algae growth
Downspouts are clogged
You haven’t had a gutter cleaning in over a year
Additional Tips
Trim back nearby trees to reduce leaf fall
Check downspouts for blockages — water should flow freely
Ensure downspouts direct water away from your foundation
Consider adding gutter extensions or splash blocks
