Get matched with top gutter cleaning pros in Mercer, WI

Q: Do buried downspouts freeze?

• <div><p>Buried downspouts can freeze during cold weather as cold water runs through them. If you&rsquo;ve discovered your downspouts are frozen, you can carefully pour hot water down the top of the downspout to defrost them. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, you may need to dig your downspout back up. Avoid trying to break the ice from the exterior using a hammer as this can cause cracks and damage to your downspout.</p><p>To avoid freezing the future, consider adding a heating cable to the exterior, which can adjust heat based on the surrounding temperature.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean gutters that you cannot reach?

• <div><p>If your gutters are out of reach, a leaf blower with a gutter cleaning attachment can help blow out leaves and dirt. You can also consider using a telescoping gutter cleaning tool, which extends your reach while allowing you to clean from the ground. These tools often have adjustable attachments, such as brushes or hoses, to clear debris effectively. If these options aren&rsquo;t practical, hiring a professional is a safe and efficient way to clean your gutters without risking injury. </p></div>

Q: Are icicles a sign of clogged or bad gutters?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a leaf blower to clean gutters?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you avoid future clogs?

• <div><p>Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you&rsquo;ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.</p></div>

Quality of work was good but be careful when quoted a price. I told them the length from sewer clean out to street was at least 80 feet. They claim it was 110 feet, so price went from $99 to $219. Ended up paying $149. Make sure price is firm before work begins.
