What Our Dallas Gutter Cleaning Includes
Gutters do one job. They catch rain from the roof and carry it to the downspouts, which send it away from the house. When they clog, the water goes wherever it can. Here is how we clean them.
- Look first. We walk the house and check the gutters and downspouts from the ground and the ladder.
- Clear the gutters. We scoop out leaves, twigs, seeds and roof grit by hand, section by section.
- Flush the downspouts. We run water through every downspout to clear clogs and make sure water comes out at the bottom.
- Bag and haul off. The debris goes in bags and leaves with us.
- Report what we saw. If a section sags, a seam leaks or a downspout is loose, we show you photos.

Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning
Most clogged gutters show it from the ground. Call us if you see any of these:
- Water spilling over the edge of the gutter when it rains
- Plants, grass or seedlings growing out of the gutters
- Gutters sagging or pulling away from the roof edge
- Little or no water coming out of a downspout during rain
- Dark streaks or wet spots on the brick below the gutters
- Water pooling next to the foundation after a storm
- Birds or wasps nesting in the gutters

Live Oaks, Pecans and Dallas Leaf Season
Dallas has two leaf seasons, not one, and that catches a lot of homeowners off guard.
- Spring. Live oaks keep their leaves through winter, then drop them in spring as new leaves push out. They also shed tassels and pollen strings that pack into gutters like wet felt.
- Fall. Pecans, red oaks, elms and other trees drop their leaves from October into December. Pecans also drop twigs and husks.
Older neighborhoods like Lakewood, Kessler Park and Preston Hollow have big, mature trees over the roof, so gutters there fill faster. Our rule of thumb is a cleaning after the spring drop and another after the fall drop.
Why Overflowing Gutters Hurt Brick, Chimneys and Foundations
When a gutter overflows, the water does not just fall on the lawn. It runs down the face of the house. On a brick home, that means the brick and mortar stay wet after every storm, which leads to white staining, mildew and worn mortar joints. Water that runs behind a chimney can get into the masonry and show up later as a leak inside.
Water that pools near the house is also hard on foundations. Much of the Dallas area sits on clay soil that swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries. Keeping roof water flowing out of the downspouts and away from the house helps keep that soil more even. The EPA’s guide to moisture in the home lists cleaning and repairing roof gutters as a basic step to keep water out of a house.
Chimney Leak Repair
If you see water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace, overflowing gutters may not be the only cause. Leaks also come from a cracked crown, worn flashing or a missing cap. While we are on the roof, we check those parts too. Learn more about finding and fixing chimney leaks, or about chimney waterproofing for brick chimneys after repairs are done.
Gutter Cleaning With Your Chimney Sweep
We are already on the roof during a chimney sweep and safety inspection, checking the cap, crown and flashing. Adding gutter cleaning to that visit saves you a second appointment and a second ladder setup. Many homeowners also add dryer vent cleaning to the same trip, especially when the dryer vent exits on the roof.
Pressure Washing
Once the gutters are clean, the stains they left behind are easier to see. Black streaks on brick, green growth on walkways and dirt on the patio often trace back to overflowing gutters. Our pressure washing service cleans driveways, walkways, patios and brick with the right pressure for each surface.
