Why Gutter Cleaning?
Hiring a gutter cleaner (or DIY gutter cleaning) seems like a low priority when you consider all the maintenance your house requires.
But did you know that a lack of gutters, and clogged or overflowing gutters, cause some of the most expensive damage to property in San Antonio?
Claims like mold removal and foundation damage are not typically covered by homeowners' insurance policies. In fact, the city of San Antonio produces exterior maintenance guidelines that name poorly functioning gutters, downspouts, and flashing as major problems that require essential routine maintenance.
It’s an easy and affordable task to hire out to trusted, reputable gutter cleaners near your San Antonio home. Here are plenty of reasons why gutter cleaning should be hot on your To Do list.
Hazards of Clogged Gutters
- Over time, debris such as leaves, needles, twigs, seeds, pinecones, pollen, flowers, dirt, and even branches will build up in your gutter. This debris causes gutter water to flow slower and eventually clog altogether.
- As debris accumulates, it adds weight to the gutter system. The added weight alters the gutter slope, bend gutters and hangers, and even causes the gutters to rip free from the house.
- Standing water in the gutters will rot shingles and flashing, and cause leaks in the roof. Before long, water in your gutters will overflow, causing tiger striping and damage to the siding.
- Uncontrolled water can pool around the foundation of the house and flood the basement or crawl space. Additionally, it will erode soil, and damage plants and landscaping while splashing dirt onto the house exterior.
- Overflowing gutter water running down the side of your house also erodes windowsills, door jambs, and the crown molding around them. It can seep inside interior walls, bringing mold, mildew, streaking, and water damage inside your home.
- Gutter debris acts as a homing beacon for all sorts of critters. Ants, spiders, rodents, and other pests forage among the gutter debris, and quickly find their way inside your home.
- The average aluminum or galvanized gutter system has a lifespan of around twenty years. Regular cleaning extends the life of your gutters.

How Often Do Gutters Need Cleaning?
Clean your gutters twice a year in our San Antonio climate, as each season presents challenges. The scorching summer heat dries out leaves and other gutter debris, making it a fire hazard.
The entire gutter system should be clog-free throughout our rainiest months. Organic matter built up in gutters gets wet and tends to clump together to form a sort of dam, which restricts water flow.
You should also clean your gutters after a severe weather event. Strong winds pick up heavy matter such as branches and items from people’s yards, and deposit them into your gutters.
Ask how Gutter Tex can put you on a money-saving, ongoing maintenance plan that includes a meticulous inspection, gutter cleaning, and pressure washing.
