Gutters are 'troughs' or channels that run the horizontal length of your roof wave and catch the rain before it can splash on the ground. They include 'downspouts' or pipes that run down vertically to the ground. Bottom elbows and extensions turn the rain 'away' or horizontally again away from the house.

Gutter cleaning in Atlanta is an often overlooked but very important part of your regular home maintenance and should be performed on an annual or semi-annual basis.

Because the actual system is well above our heads, we often don’t think about gutters as having a problem until something bad happens. Instead of waiting for the drains to overflow and notice that they aren’t keeping water off the roof very well, it is best to schedule regular maintenance in order to clean the system and keep it running smoothly.

There are various types of damage that can result from having dirty gutters and backed up downspouts. Some of the costly consequences are roof rot, foundation damage, damaged gutters, mold in walls, flooded basements and unexpected leaks.
