Gutters cleared by hand, downspouts flushed and checked, and anything loose or leaking flagged while we are up there. Twice a year keeps water away from your foundation.
Eavestroughs have one job: catch the water off the roof and carry it away from the house. When they are packed with leaves and seeds they do the opposite, pouring water straight down the wall and into the soil next to your foundation. We clear them by hand, flush the downspouts and make sure water actually leaves the property.
While we are on the ladder we look for the things owners cannot see from the ground: sagging runs, pulled hangers, joints that drip, and downspouts that end right at the foundation. You get a quick summary, not a sales pitch.
Spring brings elm keys by the bucket. June brings cottonwood fluff that mats into a felt. Fall brings the leaves, and the first freeze turns whatever is still in there into a block of ice that pulls on the hangers all winter. A spring clean and a fall clean cover all of it, and they are a lot cheaper than the wet basement that a plugged gutter eventually causes on this city's clay soil.
If your basement is already showing damp corners, cleaning the eavestroughs and extending the downspouts is the first thing to try. If that is not enough, our grading and excavation work picks up where the gutters leave off.
