"Great experience with Dolphin Gutters! They installed 7-inch seamless gutters for us and did an excellent job from start to finish. The workmanship was clean, professional, and everything came out great. Reliable service and quality work. Highly recommend!"
"Todd was swift to respond to the service request, came out and quoted the next day. His crew arrived the day after that and performed well, were courteous and efficient. They cleaned my clogged gutters and cleaned my windows for a fair price. I’ll call them again when my gutters need cleaning or I need my windows cleaned."
Gutters should be cleanedat leasttwice a year, in the spring and in the fall, to remove the debris from trees that can clog the eavestroughs and downspouts. Debris like leaves, twigs, and seed pods can build up and cause your gutters to overflow, potentially causing damage to your roof and foundation. Water backing up under the shingles can rot the edge of your roofline. Overflow water falling next to your foundation can end up leaking into your basement or crawl space.
Regular cleaning, checking for leaks, and applying protective coatings help prevent corrosion.
The trick to getting gleaming gutters can vary based on the material of your gutters. Aluminum gutters can often be restored to pristine condition by using a cloth to scrub them with a solution consisting of 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water. Vinyl gutters can be whitened using dish soap and water. For deeply stained vinyl gutters, adding bleach with water and dish soap may help to remove black streaks. Many retailers sell premixed gutter sprays. Applying cleaning solutions to dry gutters before rinsing can help cleaners attach to dirt and grime for easier removal.
Water should not be dripping behind your gutters. Rain dripping between your gutters and the fascia might indicate that the gutters are misaligned with the fascia board or there are loose screws in the gutters, allowing water to pass through. Start by checking for these issues and make repairs ASAP.
