Why it matters

Clogged gutters overflow and damage your foundation.

Foundation protection

  • Fascia and soffit rot Water sitting behind a clogged run soaks the wood trim it hangs from.
  • Winter ice damage Standing water becomes ice. Ice does not care about your gutter brackets.
  • Uninvited tenants Damp packed debris is prime real estate for wasps and the odd maple sapling.
What's included

Cleared by hand, tested with water.

The reason we clear gutters by hand instead of blowing them out is because blowers redistribute the problem — onto your siding, your windows, and your lawn. Hands and a bucket are slower. They are also actually clean.

  1. Full run cleared by hand Leaves, grit, and the compacted sludge at the bottom, into a bucket. Not onto your lawn.
  2. Downspouts flushed and flow-tested A clean gutter draining into a clogged downspout is still a clogged system.
  3. Visual check while we're up there Loose brackets, failed seams, soffit vents. We flag what we see, with photos.
  4. Site left clean Debris leaves with us. Sounds obvious. Apparently is not.
Proof

Watch a full gutter cleaning, start to finish.

The process above, on camera. Years of compacted gunk scooped out by hand, flushed, and left draining — watch the difference below.

Before

What we found

This gutter was packed with years of wet, compacted gunk — water had nowhere to go but over the edge and down the siding.

During

Cleared by hand

No shortcuts — the buildup gets scooped out by hand so the channel is actually empty, not just pushed around.

On the roof

Two storeys, no problem

Our technician handles the ladder and roof work safely, including second-storey rooflines and tight access points.

After

Spotless and draining

The same gutter after we finished — completely clear, rinsed out, and ready to move water the way it should.

FAQ

Gutter cleaning questions, answered straight.

What Ottawa homeowners ask us before booking.

How often should gutters be cleaned in Ottawa?

Twice a year for most homes: spring, after the seeds and catkins drop, and late fall, after the leaves finish. Homes under mature trees may need a third visit.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Ottawa?

It depends on the length of your gutter runs, the height, and how full they are. We quote the exact number in writing before any work starts — the assessment is free and there is no obligation.

Do you clean downspouts too?

Yes. A clean gutter draining into a clogged downspout is still a clogged system. We flush and flow-test every downspout as part of the job.

What happens if gutters are not cleaned?

Water overflows the run and goes where it wants: behind the fascia, down the siding, and into the ground beside your foundation. In winter, trapped water becomes ice and pries the gutter away from the house. Twice-a-year cleaning is the cheap version of that repair bill.

Are gutter guards worth it?

They reduce debris but do not eliminate cleaning — fine grit and seeds still get through, and the guards themselves need clearing. If you have them, we will give you a straight answer on how they are performing during the assessment.

When should I not hire a gutter cleaner?

If you have a single-storey home, a solid ladder, and no fear of using it, you can clear your own gutters twice a year for free. We would rather tell you that than charge you for a job you could do in an afternoon.
