6 Popular Ways to Clean Your Gutters

Clogged gutters can mean money down the drain -literally. Overflowing gutters flood basements, damage the foundation while stagnant water invites pests and algae.

Addressing these issues can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. A better way to keep these issues away is to clean your gutter regularly.

Here are the different ways of cleaning gutters. Not all these methods are created equal. While some are slower and safer, others are messier and more fun!

 6 Best Ways to Clean Your Gutters 

Shop Vac – The Shop-Vac® comes with many attachments that make it easy for you to reach clogged portions and vacuum out gutter gunk from the ground. Stubborn dirt may need a spray of water before it is vacuumed.

Clean by hand – You will need work gloves, a bucket, a ladder, a garden trowel or a gutter scoop. Just scoop out debris and place it in the bucket. Flush the downspout and gutter with water to make sure it is functioning properly.

Hose out – Gutters that are not completely clogged can be cleaned easily with a garden hose. Make sure you have the right attachment for the hose such as a curved end on a rigid tube that allows you to work from the ground.

Pressure Wash – A pressure washer can also be used from the ground to get rid of gutter debris. Telescoping wand and cleaning attachments allow you to reach inside and around the gutter to efficiently remove debris.

Look Method – This is a remote-controlled robotic device that cleans the gutter when placed inside it. The robot’s cleaning tool moves on its rubberized tracks to break up clogs and debris with an augur that has spinning blades in the front.

Blower Method – A leaf blower with a nozzle attachment is ideal for gutter cleaning as it releases a thin stream of air. You will need a ladder to use this tool to blow out clogs as you go.

For complicated rooflines or severely blocked gutters, calling a professional is highly recommended. Gutter cleaning professionals have the right tools and equipment that ensure the process is safe, fast, and effective.

November 5th-22nd, Washington-Oregon

After making a run to Seattle for Gae to have a couple ingrown toenails fixed on the 4th, we drove back to Daniel and Melissa’s in Enumclaw for another visit and to deliver a ceramic lamp we’d found abandoned from Seattle Pottery Supply. We stayed with them until the 10th, enjoying meals and doing a little work for them while they earned money.

I put up Melissa’s bird feeder to provide some work-time entertainment to her cat.

The view of Mount Rainier from Daniel’s neighborhood is very nice.

This prune-job I saw on a walk through the neighborhood gave me a laugh… just to be safe!

We left Daniel and Melissa’s on November 10th after Gae attended church. Our drive landed us west of Portland at Gales Creek in Tillamook State Forest for the night. On the 11th, we continued to the coast south of Tillamook, where we stayed at Cape Lookout State Park.

We stopped at Wilson river for a bathroom break, where we checked out placards about the settlers who once called the spot home.

The moss covered trees were spectacular, as always.

Gae took a picture of some jelly-like cup mushrooms on our walk in the woods near Cape Meares.

We took a short walk to the beach north of the lighthouse where a steep trail took us near the waters edge, with this view north from Cape Mears Lighthouse.

By the time we reached the lighthouse, the sunset was lighting up the view.

Just a spectacular night.

November 12th we drove to Lincoln City to do some laundry and visit my Aunt Daphne, who recently remarried at 91 years old. We met Stan Anderson, her new husband, for lunch at their place where we had a great visit getting to know Stan.

Here’s Daphne and Stan, loving each other and life.

We continued south after lunch, stopping for the night at Beverly Beach State Campground.

Luna barked for a quick walk on the beach.

A dense fog covered everything in the distance.

The campground is just east under the bridge from the beach, providing a nice silhouette against the glowing sunset.

November 13th we made a slow start to Corvallis to visit my college roommate and his girlfriend Diane.

Gae opened the glove box on Luna’s head, to get her some treats… eye contact is oh-so-important for proper begging:-)

When we arrived Dave was on his roof, cleaning gutters and pine needles off, and commenting on just how great home ownership was;-)

I got up on the roof to see if I could help, and took this picture for context… he’s about 3 stories up from the back yard.

We stayed at Dave and Diane’s through the 17th, enjoying their company and their expert cooking. We warned them that we might be back with such resort-like treatment!

Dave took us for a tour of downtown via the free local bus service on the 14th, when we posed for this picture in front of some awesome fall color.

Gae and Dave climbed a local installation of modern monkey bars (ropes and connectors), before we stopped at a local brewery to sample some beer.

November 15th Gae and I walked to the awesome local Co-Op where Dave and Diane usually shop.

We ran in to Dave on the way there, sporting his new rain jacket he picked up the day before.

A flock of turkey’s 20 strong stopped us on the sidewalk on the way home with gobbles and feather displays to keep us back.

We took a walk to a nearby park with Dave and Diane on the 16th, looking for edible mushrooms among the heavy leaf litter.

Gae took this nice shot of a hollow ball on the underside of an oak leaf, one of thousands on the forest floor.

I had to include this picture of one stump in the forest… awesome!

Here’s Dave and Diane, relaxing in the evening after a fantastic dinner of locally caught cod and wild mushroom’s we’d picked the day before.

Here I am trying to show how little the drinking has affected me!

We took another walk on the 17th through the OSU forest, while Gae stayed home to gather some energy after church.

Here’s Dave and Diane at a rest spot in the forest… beautiful trails within walking distance of their home.

We left early on the 18th and drove to Costco in Eugene to have 4 new tires put on the van. Always a bit of a hazard, as what else do you do with yourself while you wait, except shop? We tried to contact my cousin Robin, and eventually drove to Fern Ridge Lake to get enough miles on the van to have the lug-nuts checked, as required by Costco. The number of mushrooms at the closed county park was amazing.

Amanitas by the hundreds.

I didn’t know many of those present, but the color and variety were great.

We drove to my Aunt Audie’s after having the tires checked, and luckily caught her home. She treated us to a wonderful middle eastern meal, where we enjoyed visiting with Audie, her daughter Robin, and Robin’s brother Rhodec, who Gae hadn’t seen since he was 7 years old. He’s 24 now!

I didn’t think about my camera until after Rhodec had already left… damn!

We stopped by the local YMCA on the way out of town on the 19th to watch Audie play one of her twice weekly tennis dates, but just caught the last point.

Here’s Audie at 90, just after following through a return… awesome!

I decided to drive to Florence on the coast via Route 36, which runs by Audie and Uncle Mel’s old farm.

 There is a series of waterfalls, pools and rock slides that I remembered from my childhood visits just west of Triangle Lake, that we checked out along the way.

The last slide has a 5 foot drop into a pool where I spied several salmon gathering strength to run up the fish ladder I’m standing on here.

We drove through Florence on the coast to Jessie M. Honeyman State Park, where we stayed until November 23rd.

The campground is 2.5 miles from the ocean, mostly covered with huge dunes and a couple of lakes.

Gae and I didn’t know it was so far, but we made it to the top of 2 dunes and realized the hike would leave us in darkness.

We returned to Florence on the 20th to do some laundry, and checked out a wayside just north of town after a nice salad on a bun at Subway.

The Darlintonia Californica Pitcher Plant thrives in the local swampy environment… hard to beat carnivorous plants!

We drove out Jetty Road to be one dune away from the ocean… beautiful in the sun, but with a biting breeze coming off the water.

I had Gae pose with Luna so Luna could show off her flying nun ears in the wind.

We tried out Luna’s pack on a little mushroom hunting expedition before dark… does she look as nervous as me?

Bounty from the hunt included Sparassis and Chanterelles… yummy!

Gae spent some time once we were back in the van to sort and admire her bead purchases she made in Florence.

I went back out hunting on the 21st, running across some beautiful mushrooms.

I also ran across this salamander doing the funky chicken to get away from me.

I added some hedgehog mushrooms to my bounty during the hunt. We made another run to Florence after my morning hunt to return a Redbox movie and for Gae to get some more bead supplies. In the evening I prepped and cooked my mushrooms with a chicken breast in a light cheddar sauce… oh my! Gae took a tumble trying to take Luna for a walk around midnight, scaring the bejesus out of everyone.

We headed south on the 22nd for Coos Bay, not really stopping for anything before settling in at Sunset Bay State Park for the night.

We stopped for the view from Umpqua Lighthouse, where we watched some Coast Guard ships practicing wave driving, cool!

Sunset bay was small but beautiful and a bit noisy with crashing waves.

Pros and Cons of Leaf Protection Gutter Guards

Regular gutter maintenance prevents debris from obstructing water flow. A common gutter obstacle is leaf accumulation. If your area has thick foliage, then gutters tend to collect debris such as twigs, leaves, and dust and dirt, frequently.

Gutter cleaning by yourself may seem an inexpensive option. But it is a time-consuming task. It may not always be possible for homeowners to spend the required time and effort to clean their gutters. You also face the risk of slip-and-fall accidents and injuries during gutter cleaning.

So, what is a safer alternative?

What are the Pros of Leaf Gutter Protection Guards?

If you have a new home that has not yet been equipped with gutter guards, or if your old ones need repair, there are the main reasons why you should install them. Gutter guards are a simple and effective way to prevent leaves and debris from entering your guttering system.

By installing these gutter guards, you’ll be able to prevent leaves, debris, and other materials from building up in your gutters – which can cause them to overflow and potentially cause damage to your property. When you keep leaves, twigs, and other debris from collecting in your gutters, you avoid the need for constant maintenance.

Gutter guards are a low-cost investment with high-level benefits.

Below are more reasons why you need leaf gutter protection guards for your home.

Leaf guards protect gutters from the damage caused by leaves and other tree debris. Leaves, twigs, dust and other tree debris fall on unguarded gutters. Over time, the debris collects moisture and gets mushy.

The accumulated mass forms a blockage and clogs gutters, restricting the free flow of water. The basic purpose of installing gutters is defeated. When water is not directed away from the home, it starts seeping into walls, ceilings, and the foundation. Such seepage, over time, damages the structural integrity of the property.

Leaf protection guards reduce the need for frequent gutter cleaning. Many homeowners face the need to clean their gutters every year. With a leaf protection guard, homeowners can have their gutters cleaned every 3 to 5 years.

Leaf guards improve gutter life. Unprotected gutters collect wet debris, which over time gets rotten. Gutters can bend and get damaged as the rotten mass absorbs water and gains weight.

If you are using wooden or metal gutters, then the water-laden mass of debris can wear out the gutter material quickly.

Leaf protection of gutter guards prevent fire hazards. Dried up twigs and leaves are susceptible to fire sparks from flying embers.

What are the Cons of Leaf Protection Gutter Guards?

Choosing the right leaf guard is crucial. Cheap guards are a waste of money as they are inefficient at keeping leaves away.

Perforated mesh type guards can let in dirt particles, which makes manual cleaning necessary.

Foam guards may lead to moss growth.

Installing leaf guards prevents gutter clogging, allows rainwater to flow freely, and extends your gutter’s life.

Many homeowners may prefer do-it-yourself gutters (DIY gutters) leaf guard installation. They can benefit from DIY guard models.

There are different types of gutter guards, including valor gutter guards, micro-mesh types, and reverse curve-type guards.

In Conclusion

Consider your gutter type, local climatic conditions, and budget, to choose a leaf guard that best fits your needs.

Whether you are installing new gutters, or upgrading to the latest models, adding gutter guards for leaf protection gives you the best value for money in the long run.

Why Are My Gutters Making Noise?

Are your gutters making noise? How do you silence noisy gutters? We have come to know two main complaints homeowners have about gutters making noise. 

1. Loud Dripping Noise.

Are you hearing loud tapping right after it rains? Where is it coming from and how do you stop it?! You are not alone. It is a dripping sound, which comes from a single droplet of water falling down to the bottom of your downspout, producing an awful tap. This can occur on the shortest of downspouts and can get louder as the downspout gets taller.

These are temporary fixes. First, you could try running a rope through your downspout, it will act as a wick slowing down the water and exiting the downspout quietly. But be aware, debris can get caught on it. Second, the simple solution of putting a sponge at the bottom of your downspout to absorb the loud droplets. Also, be aware, debris can get caught on it. 

If these solutions do not give you peace of mind, we recommend taking the downspout apart to see if the droplets can be intercepted with better connectivity of the downspout. Sometimes moving the bottom of the downspout away from the house intercepts the drops as well.

2. Creeky Gutters.

This typically happens due to wind. The gutters are moving and the downspouts are vibrating. This is usually a sign that the gutters and downspouts are not fastened securely to the fascia boards or the siding. In order to give your gutters and downspouts more security, you will need to fasten with screws instead of nails in places where the gutter appears to be leaning away from your home. Re-positioning your downspout straps to create a snugger fit around the downspout will prevent any vibrating. Re-strapping or adding more straps to your downspout in order to secure the downspout to the siding will also alleviate the noise. 

Unfortunately, dripping noise and creeky gutters most often than not are signs of gutters that have not been maintained. Even if a few creative solutions do work to temporarily alleviate gutter issues we recommend calling us to fix it permanently and inspect for inconspicuous problems. This could potentially save you from large repair costs. Water has a slippery way of making its way anywhere.  

Gutter-related difficulties emerge in many different forms. Finding gutter maintenance services in Portland is necessary if we want to fix it permanently.

7 Tips For Finding The Best Gutter Contractor

Good gutters are crucial for maintaining the plumbing system of your home or business in an excellent condition. Issues such as faulty gutters and low-quality installation can obstruct water flow and cause water to seep into your building. Water seepage can damage your building’s ceiling, roof, walls and even the foundation. 

If you are considering installing new gutters or upgrading existing gutters, then choosing a professional gutter installation contractor is vital. Do it yourself gutters installation or repairs are an option. But the approach will always lack the expertise and perfection that professionals bring to the job. 

Working with a reliable gutter installer helps you make the right gutter choice as you can obtain expert insights into available gutter options and gutter protection systems. You will have a high-quality gutter system working for you for several years into the future. 

How to Find the Best Gutter Store near Me? 

Follow these tips to find the best gutter contractor in your area. 

The search for the best gutter installer near you starts with shopping around for potential contractors and obtaining gutter estimates. Low and affordable prices should always be a key consideration but ensure that you do not decide based on price criterion alone. Research prospective gutter installers well to make a decision that you will not regret in the long run. 

Here are some tips to ensure that you hire only the best people for the job: 

Include Reliable Recommendations and Reviews in Your Gutter Installer Research 

Start your research by getting referrals from your neighbors, family and friends. Shortlist contractors that have installed gutters recently. 

Put out a word on social media about your search for a gutter installation contractor. You can get great recommendations on social media. Check out online reviews and shortlist companies with positive reviews and a good rating. 

Look for Locals 

When shortlisting companies, go for local referrals. Local companies and small businesses are more accessible and are known to work better toward ensuring client satisfaction. They also have excellent knowledge of local climatic conditions and building regulations. Check out client base, customer feedback, and experience while shortlisting local contractors. 

Ask for Gutter Estimates 

Explain the gutter issues you are experiencing and ask the contractor for a quote. It is important for contractors to visit your premises and measure your roofing line to be able to give a quote. 

Talk to the contractor about gutters that would be best for your needs. Ask him/ her about gutter colors, and pros and cons of gutter guards (if you are considering installing them). Study the contractor’s quote for details. It should specify details such as costs involved, breakup of costs, payment schedules and installation completion time. 

When Royal roofing technicians visit your premises, they answer all your questions and provide a detailed quote. We also provide a reliable contact number in case you have additional questions. 

Does the Contractor Insist on Using a Gutter Guard? 

Gutter guards are necessary if you live in an area that can cause heavy debris. For example, if your area has thick foliage, then gutter guards can provide leaf gutter protection. 

Gutter guards are essential if you do not clean your gutters regularly. Gutters can quickly collect debris such as rotting leaves and intrusions by rodents, birds and insects, leading to clogged and overflowing gutters. 

If your contractor insists on installing a gutter guard without a valid reason, then take it as a warning sign. He/ she is looking to make extra money. 

Check Out Contractor Credentials 

A reliable contractor must not hesitate to provide a practicing license and business registration details. Such details may be displayed on the contractor’s website. If not, ask the contractor about these details. Ask for official documents and certificates that prove that the contractor is eligible to work in your locality. 

The contractor must also demonstrate his/ her knowledge of local building regulations to ensure that your gutter installation is in compliance with local laws. Look at the contractor’s previous works, especially those in your locality. Talk to previous customers to know if they are experiencing any problems with legal compliance. 

Find out about Product and Service Warranties 

In addition to warranties on materials and products, look for warranties on installation service. A reliable contractor must provide a comprehensive warranty that covers installation services too. Such warranty ensures that you are covered in case of installation defects.

 

Ask about Insurance 

An insurance is a must for a gutter installation contractor. An insurance offers protection against accidents that might happen while the contractor or his/ her crew is on the job on your premises. 

An insurance also protects you from any property damages that your neighbors or you might be at the risk of experiencing, while the crew is at work on your premises. 

Ask the Contractor for Suggestions on Gutter Type 

The right gutter type for your building depends on many factors, including the climatic conditions in your area, your surroundings, budget, and the extent of convenience you expect. 

Steel gutters, for example, are attractive and long-lasting but can be pricey. 

Vinyl gutters are extremely easy to install but not ideal if your area experiences cold climate. Copper gutters, though pricey, are sturdier and extremely durable when maintained well. 

Find Out if the Installer has Gutter Colors You Prefer 

Gutters do not have to be boring. Gutters come in different appealing colors and styles. Copper gutters are naturally aesthetic. There are copper gutters, galvanized gutters, and colored aluminum gutters if you prefer different and unusual shades.

Go for a Contractor that Gives you the Best Value for Money 

Compare the costs and benefits (both short-term and long-term) that you accrue from different contractors on your prospect list. Go for an installer that though may seem pricier than the others, offers the best material quality, workmanship, warranties and excellent service. With such a contractor, you get the best value for your money. 

In Conclusion 

Investing time and efforts in finding a reputable gutter installer saves you stress and money in the long run. Going for cheaper alternatives can help in the short-term. But over time, you will have to face expensive gutter repairs. It is always better to do it right the first time!

Installation of Seamless Gutter, Portland

Gutter not draining ?? Wondering why your gutters are not draining? Below are the top five most common reasons why. The primary function of gutters is to direct water away from your home’s foundation and basement. Sometimes, gutters may not drain properly resulting in serious damage to your home.

1. Your gutters are clogged!

Leaves, insects, dirt, and fallen tree branches can often clog your gutters, preventing water from flowing freely. Without proper maintenance and cleaning, your gutters will get completely clogged. Clogged gutters retain debris water, which in turn increases the weight and pressure on the gutters and your home. Over time, the increased weight will result in extensive and expensive damage not only to the gutters themselves but even possibly your siding, soffit, foundation, and basements for that installation of seamless gutter is needed.

2. The gutters are damaged.

High winds and heavy rains can damage improperly installed gutters. Gutters and troughs that are sagging and pulling away from your home must be inspected by a professional in order to restore the damage and improve the drainage. Depending on the damage, in the worst-case scenario, you will need to reinstall new gutters, if the damage is salvageable you may need to rehang the gutters or reinstall the fasteners holding the gutters in place. Either way gutter repairs are necessary.

3. The gutters are not pitched properly.

Gutter pitch or slope is the angle the gutter system needs to be hanging to ensure that water flows freely through the gutters and into the downpipes. It is possible that your gutters may not be pitched properly. Take a look at the water flow. Is there hardly any water coming from the downspouts? This may mean the slope is not enough to keep water moving downwards. If the water is coming out too fast, like out of a hose this means the slope is too drastic making the rainwater move too quickly, causing your gutters to overflow, possibly sending water down sidings and into cracks in the foundation.

4. The gutter joints are leaking.

Snow, debris, and standing water can force gutter joints apart. The gutter can release out from the connecting joints, resulting in a gutter leak. It will then become necessary to secure the pieces back together. However, if the areas around the gutter joints are corroded or deteriorated, you may need to replace the joints, for that installation of seamless gutter is needed

5. There is damage from ice formation.

On snowy days gutters catch the snow melting off your roof. If the gutters haven’t had regular maintenance they could be clogged with debris. This debris could form an ice dam. The weight of the ice dam can start pulling the gutter loose, requiring expensive repairs.

Without proper cleaning and maintenance, your gutters are very likely to get clogged and not be able to properly drain. In especially wet regions like the Pacific Northwest, we recommend keeping a close eye on your gutter health & install seamless gutter to prevent expensive repairs.
