Gutter cleaning in Columbia, SC
Leaves, pine straw, and gunk cleared out of your gutters, downspouts running free, and the mess hauled away, so rain goes where it's supposed to.
What's included
We scoop out the leaves, pine straw, and buildup along every run of gutter, make sure the downspouts drain, and bag and haul away everything we pull out. If we spot a loose or leaking section while we're up there, we'll let you know.
Why it matters
Clogged gutters overflow. The water rots the fascia boards behind the gutters, backs up under the edge of the roof, and pours down right next to your foundation. Standing water in a clogged gutter also gives mosquitoes a place to breed. Clean gutters are one of the cheapest ways to protect the most expensive parts of your house.
When to clean them
Late fall is the big one in Columbia, once the leaves and pine straw have come down. A second cleaning in spring clears out what the winter left behind. Under pines or big oaks, plan on more.
Add the roof on the same visit
Pine straw and leaves piled in roof valleys and behind chimneys hold moisture against the shingles and wash right back into clean gutters. We can clear the roof while we're up there. More about roof debris removal and property maintenance →
Common questions
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least twice a year in the Midlands: in late fall, after the leaves and pine straw come down, and again in spring. Homes under pines or big oaks often need it more.
Do you take the debris with you?
Yes. Everything we pull out of the gutters and off the roof is bagged and hauled away, not left in a pile by your beds.
Do you check the downspouts?
Yes. A clean gutter doesn't help if the downspout is clogged, so we make sure water runs through and out the bottom.
What happens if gutters stay clogged?
Water spills over the edge instead of running down the downspouts. It rots the fascia boards the gutters hang on, backs up under the edge of the roof, and pools against your foundation. Standing water in clogged gutters is also a breeding spot for mosquitoes.
How is gutter cleaning priced?
By how much gutter there is, how high it is, and how full it is. Tell us about your house when you ask for a quote and we'll give you a price before we start.
