See What Professional Gutter Cleaning in Richmond Actually Removes
Most gutter cleaning companies blow leaves around and leave. We photograph the compacted debris, moss, and sediment before extraction - then show you the clean gutters and flowing downspouts after. This is what separates real Richmond gutter cleaning from a quick drive-by.
Our FlowGuard 3-Step Gutter Cleaning Process
Step 1: Deep-Clean Gutters with Vacuum Systems
We use advanced vacuum systems and hand-scooping to remove leaves, moss, sediment, and compacted debris from every gutter section on your Richmond home. Nothing gets pushed into downspouts - it's extracted completely.
Step 2: Full Downspout Flushing and Testing
Every downspout gets flushed with water to confirm proper drainage. If water backs up or drains slowly, we clear the blockage - whether it's at the elbow, underground, or anywhere in between. Clean gutters are useless if downspouts stay clogged.
Step 3: Same-Day Photo Documentation
Before we leave, you receive time-stamped photos showing problem areas, removed debris, and the final water flow test. No guessing if the work was done—just documented proof sent to your phone.

Why Richmond Gutters Fill Faster Than Most Homes
Richmond's Wet Climate
Nearly 1,900 mm of annual rainfall means constant gutter flow.Richmond receives 1,900 mm (75 inches) of rain annually—nearly double the Canadian average. November alone brings 288 mm over 19 rainy days (Weather and Climate, 2024).When gutters are even partially clogged, water overflows at corners, pools against fascia boards, and seeps behind siding - creating rot and mold conditions.
Trees That Clog Gutters Fast
Maple, birch, and cedar drop heavy debris twice per year. Bigleaf maple - Canada's largest maple species - grows only in southwest BC and drops massive leaf loads (Naturally Wood, 2024). Paper birch sheds papery bark along with leaves, creating layered blockages (BC Ministry of Forests, 2024). Add cedar needles, fir cones, and roof moss, and gutters fill in weeks. Mature neighbourhoods like Steveston and Ironwood see the heaviest loads.
Cost of Skipping Cleaning
$300 in cleaning prevents $5,000+ in repairs.Skip cleaning and you're paying $1,500-$5,000 for fascia replacement, $4,500-$15,000 for foundation waterproofing, or up to $50,000 for foundation repairs.
When to Clean Your Gutters
Spring and fall minimum - three times near heavy trees.
Late spring: Clears pollen and maple keys.
Late fall: Before November's heavy rains hit.
After storms: Wind knocks down extra debris. Homes near mature trees need three cleanings per year.
