Leaves, pine needles, moss, and shingle grit accumulate on guard surfaces, blocking water flow. Small debris passes through some systems and clogs underneath. We clean both on top of guards and beneath them when accessible.
Different gutter guard types (screen, mesh, filter, reverse curve) require different cleaning approaches. We adjust our technique based on your specific system to avoid damaging guards while ensuring complete debris removal.
During cleaning, we spot loose guards, gaps where debris enters, and sections where guards have separated from gutters. Early detection prevents expensive repairs.
Pacific Northwest challenges include Douglas fir needles (they penetrate most guards), maple seed helicopters, and moss buildup that other regions don't face.
