Rain gutter cleaning in Portland can be very challenging, especially with weather patterns changing every five minutes. One question I get asked a lot is, “How often should I have my gutters cleaned in Portland?” Well, if you live in a heavy forested area you might need to have your home cleaned every 3 months to avoid damage to your gutter system. One mistake customers make is not cleaning the gutters when there are no trees around. Just because trees are not leaning over the house, dirt and debris such as roof granules and moss still collect in the gutter everyday. Gutters, by design, were not meant to hold the weight of debris says Mark from “Portland Gutter Cleaning,” only to channel water. Failure to keep the gutters cleaned will result in poor performance such as clogged gutters and downspouts or damage to the fascia. Gutters that are full of water will pull away from your home, the water then seeps into the front side of the fascia board or rafters and will rot quickly. Portland Gutter Cleaning will come out and inspect your gutters free of charge.
Portland Gutter Cleaning thoughts on Leaf Guard gutters
What about Leaf Guard gutters in Portland Oregon? This is a question we get asked almost on a daily basis. Our answer is simple, it depends on the surrounding micro climate around your home. In my experience, pine needles get through everything, I have seen specialty gutters fill up in no time. The other problem that we have seen first hand is the sludge build up in the interior lip just as the water is supposed to flow into the interior of the gutter system. Most homes in the Portland Oregon metro area have trees. Most roofs in the Northwest will grow moss of some sort and definitely algae. The combination of pine needles, algae, and the wet weather promote a slimy coating on the roof. This travels onto the face of the gutter leaving particles that need to be cleaned off periodically. The one thing we do like about leaf guard is they change the downspout tubes, they are larger and round the corners which helps with clogging issues. In our 20 years of experience with gutter systems we have not seen one system that will cure the problem for everyone.
