A gutter or an eavestrough is a device installed on the soffit fascia used to direct rainwater away from your property. Despite the numerous advantages that a rain gutter has, most people ignore it until the day it overflows or clogs. Our window cleaning services are also geared towards gutter maintenance and cleaning.
You might be wondering why you need to have your gutters cleaned. Cleaning your gutters have several advantages:
Failure to have your gutters professionally cleaned will result in blockage, causing overflows. The water might find its way into your siding, causing wood rot and mold growth. You also open your home to potential flooding in the basement because gutters help move the water away from the foundation of your home.
If leaves clog your gutter and are not removed, they will dry and create a conducive environment for pests to call home. If you live in a snake prone area, don't be surprised when we find snakes on the roof. Pests and critters will prefer the gutter system because it protects them from larger predators.
So how do leaks harm your roof? First of all, you have to understand that different parts make a roof. Some of these parts include the soffit, fascia, and rafters. In some cases, if soffit and fascia are made of wood, and the water does not drain as it should, it will cause wood rot.
We pride ourselves that our exterior house cleaning services has helped save hundreds of thousands of dollars in foundation repair costs. So how does a gutter system protect your foundation? When rainwater settles near the foundation, it causes the soil to weaken, which interferes with the building's structural stability.

If you live in an area with a moderate climate, you need to have a gutter maintenance service at least twice a year. This will change if you live in a harsh climatic region, depending on the season. There are four main seasons. The two primary seasons that you need to be aware of is winter and spring.
During spring, heavy snow might settle on the system, causing it to detach from the facia and weaken its joints and seams. Another factor that widens the seam is the fluctuating temperatures that cause sudden expansion and contraction. If the gutter is already clogged, expect the damage to worsen.
You should be particularly careful about winter because most damages happen during this period. Winter is known for its heavy snow, which causes destructive ice dams. During these two seasons, you should not hesitate to give us a call.
Other seasons too, will also affect how you maintain your system. For example, during fall, the leaves start to drop because trees become dormant. Not only does this make your compound untidy, but it also increases the chances of your gutter clogging, especially if the trees are too close to your house.
During summer, the hot temperatures cause trees to lose their leaves because of the high transpiration rate. It would be best if you also took extra precautions during this time.

A soffit is a form of material that can either be vinyl or wood used to cover the roof's eave. Contrary to popular belief, a soffit is not just any other part of a roof. It has both functional and aesthetic uses. Functionally, a soffit plays a crucial role in allowing air to enter your attic and stabilize the internal air temperature by introducing cold air from the environment.
A dirty soffit has dust and debris blocking the vents preventing air from entering. As a result, moisture accumulates in the attic causing wood rot and mold. When cleaning the soffit, we prefer to power wash it instead of manually cleaning it.
When power washing the soffit, we first create a specially formulated cleaning solution and then set the machine to the correct PSI. If the pressure is too much, then you risk breaking the vents.
