Why Clean Gutters Matter
Gutters exist for one reason: to channel water off your roof and away from your home’s foundation. When they’re clogged with leaves, twigs, and debris, water backs up — causing damage that can cost thousands to repair.
Sacramento Valley’s many mature trees make gutter cleaning especially important. We recommend cleaning at least twice per year — fall and spring.
What Clogged Gutters Can Cause
Roof Damage
Water backing up under shingles causes rot, leaks, and premature roof failure.
Foundation Issues
Water pooling at the base of your home can erode soil and damage your foundation over time.
Fascia Rot
Standing water in gutters soaks into the fascia board, causing wood rot that spreads to the structure.
Pest Infestations
Clogged gutters filled with organic debris are prime nesting habitat for mosquitoes, rodents, and birds.

How Often Should You Clean Gutters?
For most Sacramento Valley homes, we recommend cleaning twice per year: once in late fall after leaves have dropped, and once in spring after seasonal debris. Homes surrounded by pine trees may need cleaning 3–4 times per year.
