One gutter cleaning every fall sounds reasonable. Until you see what a single July storm dumps into a coastal gutter.
Between spring pollen, Spanish moss, and summer storm debris, gutters across Eastern NC and Hampton Roads can pack solid by mid-summer. ๐
Here's what happens next:
๐ Water backs up and rolls behind the fascia board
๐ The soffit stays damp for weeks before anyone spots a stain
๐ By the time fall cleaning rolls around, the wood is soft
What should've been a 30-minute flush turns into a carpentry bill.
For this climate, two cleanings a year is the honest minimum. Once in spring after the pollen drops, once in late summer after the worst of the storms.
If you're not sure what shape your gutters are in, send us a message and we'll take a look.
