Gutter Cleaning
Professional Gutter Cleaning Services
Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of water damage in Chicagoland homes. When leaves, twigs, and shingle grit fill your gutters, rainwater has nowhere to go and spills over the edge onto your siding, fascia, and foundation. At New Era 180 Restoration, we provide thorough gutter cleaning services that clear out every downspout and channel so water flows where it should. With over 15 years of experience on Chicagoland roofs, we know exactly what to look for.
Why Regular Gutter Cleaning Matters
A gutter full of debris stops working long before it looks broken. Water backs up under the shingles, soaks the fascia boards, and pours down against your foundation. In winter, trapped water freezes and forms ice dams that lift shingles and let melt water into your attic. Here are signs your gutters need cleaning:
- Water spilling over the sides during rain
- Plants or grass growing out of the gutter
- Streaks or stains on the siding below the gutter line
- Gutters sagging or pulling away from the roofline
Catching these early is far cheaper than repairing rotted fascia or a cracked foundation. Regular cleaning is the simplest way to protect the exterior of your home.
Our Gutter Cleaning Process
We start by removing all debris from the gutter channels by hand, so nothing gets pushed further down the system. Then we flush the gutters and downspouts with water to clear packed sediment and confirm the water is draining out and away from the house. Any clogged downspout gets cleared before we leave.
While we are up there, we check the hardware. We look for loose hangers, separated seams, low spots where water sits, and any fascia or soffit damage the clog may have already caused. You get a report on what we found, and we bag and haul away every bit of debris. Your yard looks the same as it did when we arrived.
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?
Most homes in the northwest suburbs do best with two cleanings a year. Spring clears out the winter buildup and seed pods, and fall clears the leaf drop before the first freeze. Homes surrounded by mature oaks, maples, or pines usually need more. A good schedule looks like this:
- Late spring, after the trees finish dropping seeds and buds
- Late fall, once the leaves are down
- After any major storm that brings down branches and debris
- Before winter, to reduce the risk of ice dams
If your gutters are already damaged or draining poorly, cleaning alone may not solve it. We can also handle gutter repair and replacement, along with fascia and soffit work.
