"Say Goodbye to Gutter Hassles with Our Surprisingly Affordable Comprehensive Services"
When you get your gutters cleaned professionally, the services offered may vary depending on the company you hire. However, here are some common services that you can expect:
1. Gutter cleaning: This is the main service that professional gutter cleaners offer. They will remove any debris, leaves, twigs, or other materials that are clogging your gutters.
2. Inspection: Professional gutter cleaners inspect your gutters for damage and leaks, that need to be fixed.
3. Repairs: If damage is found during the inspection, the professional gutter cleaners may be able to make repairs or recommend a contractor who can fix the issue.
4. Flushing: In addition to removing debris, gutter cleaners will also flush out your gutters and downspouts with water to ensure that they are functioning properly.
5. Moss treatment: Your roof might require a moss treatment. For a roof with very little moss, it might only need a light covering of moss killer. A complete light roof brushing is required for more severe moss issues and treatment of moss killer. You might want to think twice about using a Zinc Sulfate product that can void your roof warranty and damage your landscape plants. Check your roof warranty.
Yes, there are several roof moss products available that do not contain zinc sulfate. Some alternative ingredients used in these products include citric acid, fatty acids, and peroxide-based solutions.
Citric acid-based moss removal products work by breaking down the cell walls of moss and algae, causing them to die and detach from the roof. Peroxide-based solutions work by oxidizing and breaking down organic matter, such as moss and algae.
It's important to note that while these alternative moss removal products may be effective, they may also come with their own set of limitations and considerations.
Some gutter cleaners may offer to clean and brighten the outside of gutters or fascia. Cleaning the outside of the gutters and fascia will improve the appearance of your home and prevent algae staining or discoloration caused by dirt, grime, or other debris.
Some gutter cleaners may offer to prune tree branches that are touching or shading the roof to reduce moss and algae buildup. However, this service is not included in a standard gutter cleaning package.
Pruning tree branches that are touching or shading the roof is beneficial in reducing moss or algae buildup and keeping rodents like rats from doing damage to the roof and gutters.
It's important to note that the specific services offered may vary depending on the company you hire and the condition of your gutters, roof, and trees.
