Gutter Cleaning Services in Tsawwassen

Fall is here and the leaves are coming down in bunches. Here in Tsawwassen, this means that your gutters aren’t safe for long. Build up of debris from wind and rain can cause water to pool in your gutters. This can lead to roof or interior damage, mould, flood damage, and even structural damage in the worst of cases.

After the initial cleanup, your plants and weeds will still keep growing. Thankfully, this will require much less work now that the initial cleanup has all your plants, shrubs and hedges pruned or trimmed. In Tsawwassen, our focus will be to remove any new weeds, turn over the soil to allow more air and nutrients to reach the plants, and raking or blowing out any dead or decaying debris that has fallen onto the soil. We will work with you to create a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or any other garden maintenance schedule that meets your needs. Regular maintenance can help reduce the cost of bigger cleanups later on, while keeping your garden looking consistently beautiful year round.

If you choose to do it yourself, you’ll need to really keep safety as a priority. Many accidents occur from gutter cleaning in Tsawwassen every year because of ladder work. Whether ladders aren’t properly set up, or perhaps a harness is needed for those second storey gutters, any time you are doing work higher than 6 feet off of the ground you are putting yourself at great risk. Although we encourage our community to be active and try the work themselves, we also strongly encourage you to trust the professionals to do any work at height, especially gutter cleaning.

If you have training with ladders, you can try your own gutter cleaning. There are several methods you can use that we use in Tsawwassen, and it all depends on your comfortability, equipment, and bucket. You’ll of course need a ladder tall enough to reach your gutters, but aside from that, the most basic things you will need are some heavy duty gloves, a garden trowel or gutter scooper, and a bucket. To clean it by hand, you’ll want to slowly use the trowel to slowly scoop out the debris and dump it into your bucket. When you’ve scooped out as much as you can, you’ll want to go to the furthest point away from the downspout with a hose and wash away whatever lingering debris you can.

In Tsawwassen, some other methods we use for gutter cleaning include using a leaf blower, a wet/shop vacuum, and power washer or garden hose. If you have the right tools for these methods, you can go ahead and try them. However, the risk from these methods is much higher than by hand. To use the blower, you might find yourself hanging onto the ladder while operating this power tool, or perhaps you need to get fully onto the roof to set up the shop vacuum. While these methods are quicker and more effective than hand cleaning, these methods are also far more dangerous.
