View Gutter Cleaning template →Twice per year — spring and fall — is standard for most homes. Homes with overhanging trees may need 3–4 cleanings per year. Clogged gutters cause foundation damage, basement water intrusion, and fascia rot.
Quality gutter guards ($5–$12/linear ft installed) reduce cleaning frequency but don't eliminate it. Lower-cost foam or screen inserts are largely ineffective. Micro-mesh guards from reputable brands perform best.
Overflowing gutters saturate soil against your foundation, causing basement leaks. Water behind the fascia rots wood and invites pest entry. Ice dams in cold climates form when gutters can't drain properly.
