Gutter Cleaning and Repair York, PA

You hope for a standard cleaning, but we often have to troubleshoot issues.

While these gutters were certainly in need of a cleaning, the improperly installed spouting wasn't helping matters.

The normal procedure is to brush the gutters, scoop out debris, and finish with a flush.  When nothing will come out the downspout, we have the option of snaking the clog out or disassembling the downspout to find the issue.
That is when we found this.

The solid block was caused by a downspout connecting into the main downspout.  These gutters never would have served their purpose.  Both of the downspouts were fashioned in a way that caused them both to block each other.

The pictures explain better than words.

To rectify the issue, I cut the aluminum back on the inserted gutter so it only went into the main spout enough to keep with the original design, but this time without blocking the flow of rain.

If you're experiencing issues with your gutters even after they appear clean, it may mean you need to dig a little deeper to find the cause.

Commercial Gutter Cleaning York, PA


 What you are looking at in the pictures below is the overhang in the outdoor nursery checkout area. 
We were called in to fix a drip.  We solved the problem area by cleaning the spouting and sealing the seams at the connections.

Stewartstown Gutter Cleaning



 back right section of the house


 front right section of the house


The back gutter is full all way across on the right side.  It looks like a bit of oak leaves, pine needles, and smaller leaf.

 the Left side, in the back of the house, was spotty a patch of leaves and debris here and there.

The top front of the house, is pitched the wrong direction the debris and water has all accumulated away from the downspout.  It probably won't be an issue with ice or anything, the main concern is going to be attracting bugs. Bee's like to hang around water, and mosquitoes do there egg laying in standing water.



 Front right, top gutter, still has water stains in it you can see how high the water was in the gutters


  The front of the house is full on the right side under  what looks like a cherry tree.  The left side of the house, just above the garage had very minimal debris

 Upon flushing the downspouts I noticed the debris shooting back up the downspout by this elbow at the bottom of the leader pipe. 


 I found an 2 inch screw holding the elbow onto the extension pipe to move the rain water away from the house.  I remove that screw and replace it with a gutter screw, only about a 1/2 inch long. 


I put a screw in the leader pipe joint to hold them together. 

2 Buckets full, and a few screws later the house in stewartstown has clean gutters.
