"Afterwards, they said the upper gutters were clear, but that the downspouts leading underground had a blockage and maybe a potential break (since they found rocks). They cleared the blockage and now the gutters flow and drain good even with the recent very heavy rainfall (downpours!). I agreed to the $125 estimate beforehand, but since the upper gutters were clear the job was much easier and quicker than expected. More like a value of $100 for the level of effort. With that said, I want to say I was happy with the work (and result) and gladly paid the agreed upon $125. I paid in cash and didn't get a paper receipt, only an e-mailed invoice with the amount charged, not amount paid. This made me feel uneasy. Do I have a record that I paid the bill? Not really..."

"LeafFilter doesn't clean gutters, they sell and install their LeafFilter Gutter products and only clean the gutters if you buy their product. I can't even begin to afford their product so I wasn't able to get my gutter cleaned by them."

"My only concern was a down spout on the roof from a new piece of gutter. I was told this is normal and would not cause a leak. It looks strange because that piece of gutter was originally not on the house. As long as this is true, I am very happy with my new gutters."

"Joe and his crew did a great job on my gutters! I had an opportunity to see how the gutters would perform as we got dumped on for about a week with approximately 4-5 inches of rain falling. Yay! no more waterfalls they held up great. My only negative is the crew could have cleaned up the mud, etc from my driveway and sidewalk. It has been a couple of weeks and one of the workmen must have dropped something on my rear deck and chipped my composite deck and neglected to tell me."

Gutter Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is generally considered safe to use a leaf blower to clear debris from gutters as long as you are wearing safety goggles and gloves. It's also necessary to have a gutter extension tool. In cases of severe clogs, it's necessary to manually clear debris that cannot be removed by the pressure of the leaf blower. Homeowners should be aware that the incredible power and speed of the output of a leaf blower can blow debris into downspouts. When this happens, water won't be able to flow through the gutters properly. For this reason, many homeowners hire professional gutter cleaners.

If you do end up with frozen gutters, it's important to thaw them correctly. Thawing your gutters slowly is far safer than trying to break apart the ice. Once you get through the ice, bring in a gutter professional to check out the effectiveness of your heated system.

If you want to avoid burying your downspouts, several alternatives can help direct water away from your home's foundation. One option is to connect a rain barrel to your downspout. During a storm, the barrel collects water that you can later use for irrigating your lawn or garden. Another common solution is to install an above-ground downspout extension. This can be done in a couple of ways:

  • Splash Guards: Placing a splash guard, available at most hardware stores, under your downspout can act as a simple funnel to direct water away from the house.

  • Downspout Extensions: You can add an extension to the end of the downspout's elbow to carry water further into your yard. Some extensions are flexible, allowing you to maneuver them around landscaping.

These above-ground solutions are particularly useful if your home has a slab foundation that you cannot dig up. However, they have limitations. An extension may not move water as far from your home as an underground system. More importantly, if your yard slopes back toward your house, these methods will be ineffective, and burying your downspouts remains the best option to prevent potential flooding and water damage.

If not properly maintained, an underground downspout may damage your home's foundation. A clogged downspout can back up, causing water to pool around the base of your home and seep into the foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance keep your downspout in good working order, preventing damage and protecting your home.

Icicles don't necessarily mean your gutters are clogged or bad, but they can indicate an underlying issue. While clogged gutters can cause icicles to form, the problem could also be an ice dam on your roof from poor insulation. In that case, melting snow can refreeze in the gutter even without a clog. Regardless of the cause, the weight of the ice can damage your gutters or even rip them completely off the house. If you are unsure of the underlying problem, it's best to call a roofing company to assess the issue and implement a permanent solution.
