Signs It’s Time to Schedule Gutter Cleaning

Your gutters quietly protect your home from water damage—but only if they’re clean and functioning properly. When neglected, clogged gutters can cause serious problems like foundation issues, roof leaks, and mold growth.

At Joe’s Window Cleaning LLC, we specialize in professional gutter cleaning that helps homeowners avoid costly repairs and stay ahead of seasonal maintenance. Wondering when it’s time to call us? Here are the biggest red flags to watch for:

1. Water Overflowing from Gutters

If water is spilling over the sides during a rainstorm, your gutters are likely clogged. This overflow can erode your landscaping, damage your foundation, and seep into your walls or basement.

2. Sagging or Detached Gutters

Heavy debris like wet leaves and standing water can weigh gutters down, causing them to sag or pull away from your home. This is a clear sign your system is overdue for cleaning and possibly in need of repair.

3. Plants Growing in the Gutters

If you spot grass, moss, or even small trees sprouting from your gutters, that’s a surefire sign you’ve got a major clog. It also means dirt and moisture have been sitting in the troughs for far too long.

4. Staining on Siding or Foundation

Water marks or streaks on your siding often point to gutters that aren’t directing water away correctly. Over time, this can lead to rot, mildew, or foundation cracks.

5. Nesting Pests and Insects

Clogged gutters make an inviting home for mosquitoes, birds, squirrels, and insects. If you notice increased pest activity around your roofline, a gutter inspection is a smart move.

6. Ice Dams in Winter

In colder months, clogged gutters can cause ice dams to form, leading to roof leaks and damaged shingles. A proper fall cleaning can prevent these winter headaches before they start.

7. It’s Been Over 6 Months Since Your Last Cleaning

Even if you don’t see visible problems, your gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year—once in spring and once in fall. More often if you live near lots of trees or have storm debris buildup.
