Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my gutters?
No trees = once a year; 1–3 trees = twice a year; more than 3 = quarterly cleanings.
Why count overhanging trees?
Leaves and debris from trees clog gutters faster, increasing cleaning frequency.
Does gutter length change frequency?
Length affects total workload per clean but not the number of cleans per year.
Can I adjust recommendations?
Yes—if you have very heavy leaf fall, increase the number of cleanings accordingly.
