Gutter cleaning
Clogged gutters are behind a surprising share of the wet-basement and ice-dam calls we get in the Twin Cities. Water that cannot get to the downspout ends up at your foundation or frozen at the eave.
What we do
- Hand-clear debris from the full gutter run — not just blow the top layer around
- Flush the gutters and downspouts to confirm flow
- Check and reseat loose hangers, resecure downspouts
- Note damaged sections, sagging runs, and missing extensions
- Bag and haul the debris, and leave the roof and beds clean
When to clean
- Late fall, after the leaves have finished dropping — the most important one in Minnesota, because it is what keeps ice dams from starting at a plugged eave
- Spring, to clear seed pods, shingle grit, and winter debris
- More often under mature maples, oaks, or pines

Skipping fall cleaning is how a $150 job turns into ice dam damage, fascia rot, or water in the basement.

FAQ
How often should gutters be cleaned in Minnesota?
Twice a year — spring and, most importantly, late fall after leaf drop. Homes under heavy tree cover often need a third visit.
Do gutter guards mean I never clean again?
They cut it way down but do not eliminate it. Fine grit and seed still accumulate, and guards need occasional clearing.
Can clogged gutters really flood my basement?
Yes. Overflow dumps concentrated water right at the foundation, which is one of the most common causes of a wet basement we see.
