Gutter Cleaning + Downspout Flush
Clean gutters and flush downspouts so eave drainage works during Metro Vancouver rainfall.
What is gutter cleaning?
Gutter cleaning removes debris from gutters and downspouts so roof runoff can leave the eave line without overflow into fascia, foundations or landscaping.
Who this is for
Start with the condition, not the product

Metro Vancouver climate
BC weather shapes the failure mode and the detail
Frequent rain means clogged gutters quickly wet fascia and foundations in the Lower Mainland.
When this service is appropriate
When metal is still sound and debris is the main problem.
When another service may fit better
Rusted, separated or chronically undersized gutters may need replacement.
When repair may make sense
Cleaning when troughs remain structurally sound.
When replacement may make sense
Replacement when metal or pitch cannot perform after cleaning.
Scope

Questions
Before you decide
What is gutter cleaning + downspout flush?
Gutter cleaning removes debris from gutters and downspouts so roof runoff can leave the eave line without overflow into fascia, foundations or landscaping.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Metro Vancouver?
Most local homes need at least an autumn cleaning after leaf fall; properties under conifers often need a second visit because needles accumulate year-round. Overflow during ordinary rain is the sign you have waited too long.
What happens if I skip gutter cleaning?
Blocked gutters overflow against fascia and siding, dump water at the foundation and can back water under the roof edge. In this climate that regularly turns a small maintenance task into fascia rot or drainage repairs.
Do you flush the downspouts or just clear the gutters?
Both. A clean trough that drains into a blocked downspout still overflows. Each downspout is flushed and its discharge confirmed, because lower-elbow and underground clogs are among the most common hidden failures.
My gutters overflow even when they are clean — what then?
That points to a pitch, sizing or outlet problem rather than debris. Cleaning visits include condition notes, and if the metal or geometry cannot perform, repair or replacement is recommended with the reasons documented.
