A useful starting point
Choose cleaning first or discuss guards
Locate the overflow
Water spilling over the edge or a downspout that isn’t draining can point to different problems. Tell me where you see the issue and when it happens. I’ll inspect the system before recommending a service.
Resolve the blockage first
For a current blockage, cleaning may be the first step. If debris keeps building up, we can discuss whether guards suit your gutters and whether any repairs are needed first. Guards reduce debris buildup, but your gutters still need periodic attention.
Choose the next step
You don’t need to know the answer before reaching out. Share your address and what you’ve noticed. I’ll explain your options during your free estimate.
Can guards be fitted over a clogged gutter?
The existing debris and drainage problems should be addressed first. Covering a blocked or damaged system leaves the underlying issue in place. Ask what cleaning and preparation are included in the guard estimate.
