Gutters Should Be Cleaned At Least Twice A Year

If you skipped cleaning your gutters last fall or last spring or perhaps even longer we'll make sure that you have a fresh start with a complete inspection and a thorough cleaning.

A complete gutter cleaning & inspection will help prevent:

  • mold caused by wet basements
  • cracked and bowed walls on foundation
  • stained ceilings
  • damaged siding and paint
  • rotted fascia boards
  • erosion of ground and landscaping

 

Why Have Your Gutters Cleaned?

When gutters have debris piled up above the flashing or shingle line, the debris can hold moisture on the fascia boards - the horizontal boards at the end of the roof overhang.

The moisture can also affect the roof sheathing and framing beyond the fascia. This moisture can cause dry rot, ice dams and a variety of other problems.

How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?

Most homeowners benefit from gutter cleaning twice a year. A spring cleaning in April or May clears winter debris and prepares your system for Metro East thunderstorm season. A fall cleaning in late October or November removes the leaf load after oaks, maples, and sweetgums in Troy Road and Lindenwood neighborhoods have finished dropping. Schedule it before the first freeze arrives. Homes near Glen Carbon or Maryville with heavy tree coverage, or properties along the Cahokia Creek corridor, may need a third cleaning mid-summer. Seed pods and early leaf drop create additional buildup then.

What Happens If You Skip Gutter Cleaning in Illinois?

Neglected gutters can create a chain of damage that goes far beyond a simple clog. When water backs up and has nowhere to drain, it spills over the edge and pools against your foundation. Illinois winters compound the problem: standing water in clogged gutters can freeze, expand, and stress seams or pull hangers loose. Common consequences include:


▸ Fascia board rot from persistent moisture along the roofline.

▸ Foundation erosion and basement seepage from pooling water.

▸ Soil washout that damages landscaping and hardscaping.

▸ Ice dam formation along the eaves during Edwardsville's freeze-thaw cycles.

▸ Pest infiltration, as debris creates nesting conditions for insects and rodents.


If you have skipped cleaning for more than one season, Art's Custom Seamless Gutters Inc. can check whether gutter repair is needed alongside the cleaning.

Gutter Cleaning FAQs

  • How Often Should I Have My Gutters Cleaned in Illinois?

    Twice a year is the general recommendation for most Metro East homes. Spring and late-fall cleanings align with Illinois weather patterns and tree canopy cycles. Homes with heavy tree coverage may need an additional mid-season visit.

  • What Are the Signs My Gutters Need Cleaning Now?

    Watch for water spilling over the sides during rain, visible plant growth or sagging in the channel, staining on your siding below the gutter line, or water pooling near your foundation after storms. Any of these means your gutters need attention now.

  • Can Gutter Cleaning Prevent Foundation Damage?

    Regular gutter cleaning helps protect your foundation. When gutters flow freely, water is directed away from the home. When clogged, overflow can saturate soil along the foundation and contribute to settling or seepage over time.

  • Does Art's Custom Seamless Gutters Combine Cleaning With Repair?

    Yes. Art's Custom Seamless Gutters Inc. can often combine cleaning and repair work during the same visit, saving time and preventing small problems from becoming larger ones. Call 618-304-5150 to discuss your situation and request a free quote.

  • Is It Too Late to Get Gutters Cleaned Before Winter?

    It is generally not too late as long as temperatures allow safe ladder and roof access. A late-fall cleaning before the first hard freeze is often better than waiting until spring. Over a full Illinois winter, packed wet leaves and ice can cause significant damage to fascia and seams.
