Question 1

How often should I clean my eavestroughs?

Accepted Answer

We recommend cleaning your eavestroughs at least twice a year - once in late spring and once in early fall. However, if you have many trees around your property, you may need more frequent cleaning to prevent clogs and water damage.

Question 2

What are the signs that my eavestroughs need repair?

Accepted Answer

Look for sagging gutters, water overflow during rain, rust spots, cracks or holes, loose fasteners, and water stains on your home's exterior. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to call for professional repair services.

Question 3

How long do eavestroughs typically last?

Accepted Answer

Quality aluminum eavestroughs can last 20-30 years with proper maintenance. Steel gutters may last 15-20 years, while copper gutters can last 50+ years. Regular cleaning and maintenance significantly extend their lifespan.
