Rain gutter cleaning is more than just removing leaves. All debris and leaves should be removed from the gutters and all gutters should be drained with water to ensure proper flow. Any clogged downspouts should be unclogged and drained with hose water. Now is your chance to have any needed gutter repairs done such as sealing any leaking gutter seams or tightening loose screws or brackets. Gutter guard installation is another option to think about for any problem gutters that fill up throughout the year or even installing gutter guards for all your gutters in an attempt to have to do gutter cleaning less.

Any roof moss on your roof should be removed by pressure washing and treated with a moss killer treatment to prevent quick regrowth. Removing roof moss will save you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs associated with the water damage created by the moisture in the moss.
