Surrey Gutter Cleaning Services

Convenient gutter cleaning near you

Cleaning your home’s gutters isn’t the most fun task to spend your weekend on, and it can be quite tempting to put it off until next Saturday. But then next Saturday turns into next month, and before you know it, you’re caught with clogged gutters on a rainy day! Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow from the gutters and run down the walls, ultimately pooling around the home’s foundation. This can cause much more extensive damage down the line, as it opens the possibility for weakened walls as well as erosion, cracks and settling in the foundation. Damage like this is much more expensive and difficult to deal with than a simple gutter cleaning, so let’s get it done! 

We’ll clean your gutters with hand scoops and our high-powered vacuums, moving any furniture out of the way as needed and returning it to its proper place when we’re finished. We’ll also run water through the gutters to ensure they’re flowing properly, and finally, we’ll wipe down the outsides of the gutters for a nice, clean look. We’re all about a job well done here at Shack Shine!

Gutter cleaning FAQs

Q: How do you clean customers’ gutters?

We utilize a comprehensive approach that merges traditional expertise with advanced cleaning techniques. Our technicians prioritize cleaning gutters by hand and with scoops to ensure thorough removal of all debris. For stubborn buildup or heavily impacted systems, we employ specialized, effective equipment to achieve complete clearance.

Q: Why is professional gutter cleaning important?

Gutters are your home’s primary defence against water damage. They are designed to funnel water off the roof and safely into the perimeter drainage system. When gutters are clogged, water can overflow and rapidly lead to long-term damage by:

• Compromising the Foundation: Water pooling near the base instead of draining away.

• Causing Structural Leaks: Leaks into the home’s walls, attic, and fascia boards.

• Fostering Mold and Rot: Prolonged moisture accelerates deterioration of wood and encourages mold growth.

Q: How often should I have my gutters cleaned if I live in Surrey?

We recommend that customers schedule professional cleaning at least twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall.

Given Surrey’s high rainfall volume and the dense tree coverage in areas like Cloverdale and South Surrey, frequent rainy weather may necessitate additional cleanings throughout the year. If you notice water overflowing or pooling around your home’s foundation, it is time for a service call.

Q: How does Surrey’s climate and location affect gutter performance?

Surrey’s position within the Lower Mainland means it receives significant and persistent rainfall, making the primary challenge managing large volumes of water and heavy debris. The main climate-related impacts are:

• Weight of Debris: Heavy saturation turns leaves and needles (especially near forested areas) into dense debris that can strain gutter supports and cause sagging.

• Moss and Algae Growth: Consistent dampness encourages aggressive moss and algae growth inside the gutters and downspouts, rapidly forming new blockages.

• Perimeter Drainage Stress: Since gutters lead to your perimeter system, clogs place undue stress on your entire home drainage network, increasing the risk of basement flooding.

Q: What differentiates gutter maintenance for Surrey’s diverse architectural styles?

Surrey features a broad mix of housing types, requiring flexible cleaning strategies:

Large Executive and Custom Homes (e.g., South Surrey)

• Focus: These homes often have extensive, multi-level gutter systems and complex rooflines.

• Maintenance Requirement: We use specialized access equipment for height and focus on clearing long runs and ensuring all downspouts connecting to the extensive perimeter drainage are functioning optimally.

Older Bungalows and Acreage Homes (e.g., Cloverdale)

• Focus: These properties often have older gutter systems and are typically surrounded by dense, mature trees leading to high volumes of leaves and needles.

• Maintenance Requirement: Requires diligent manual clearing of heavy, compacted debris and careful inspection of aged fasteners and seams for corrosion or leaks.

Modern Townhomes and Subdivisions (e.g., Guildford, Fleetwood)

• Focus: Utilize modern, often less visible, continuous gutter systems but may be prone to fast clogging from construction debris or nearby young trees.

• Maintenance Requirement: We ensure precise cleaning of the streamlined systems and verify that drainage is properly directed away from shared or adjacent structures.

Q: How much does gutter cleaning cost in Surrey?

The total cost of our professional gutter cleaning service is determined by a few key factors:

• Home Size and Complexity: The total length of the gutters and the height/accessibility of the roofline.

• Additional Services: Whether you combine gutter cleaning with window washing or other services during the same visit.
