Gutter Cleaning Services in St. Louis, MO

Seamless aluminum gutters can last up to 30 years with proper maintenance, but they need to stay clean to work effectively. For your gutter system to direct water away from your home, it must remain free of debris. Open gutters can quickly accumulate leaves, dirt, and other blockages, leading to clogs that stop water from flowing properly. Scheduling routine gutter cleaning helps prevent these problems and keeps your system working at its best. Call The Brothers that just do Gutters in Fenton, Chesterfield, and St. Louis, MO and the surrounding areas today at (314) 804-5711 to schedule your free estimate.

Clogged Gutters 

Keeping your gutters clean is crucial because clogged gutters can cause significant damage to your home. Gutters are designed to channel rainwater from your roof to the ground, keeping it away from your foundation. However, they often collect more than just water—leaves, twigs, shingle debris, and even pests can find their way in. When these materials clog the system, water backs up and spills over, leading to costly home repairs.

Blocked gutters can cause water to seep into the fascia boards, leading to rot and deterioration. If left unchecked, this damage can spread to your attic, ceilings, and walls. Additionally, clogged downspouts can cause water to pool around your foundation, increasing the risk of leaks or basement flooding. Excess moisture buildup can also lead to mold and mildew, creating health hazards and costly remediation.

Our professional gutter cleaning services help prevent these issues by thoroughly clearing out debris to keep water flowing smoothly. Keeping gutters clean is essential to maintaining their function, and installing gutter guards can reduce the need for frequent interior cleaning.

Best Way to Clean Gutters 

Many people put off cleaning their gutters, which is why so many “quick fix” tools exist to make the job easier. We’ve tested a variety of these gadgets over the years, but most only remove some debris while leaving downspouts and outlets clogged, resulting in incomplete cleaning.

Because no single cleaning method works for every home, we take a customized approach. Our team works directly at gutter level, using a combination of hand scooping and leaf blowing to clear out all debris and ensure that downspouts are unobstructed. We prioritize safety, efficiency, and protecting your home’s exterior and landscaping while ensuring your gutters are ready to perform.

For homeowners who prefer to skip the hassle of gutter maintenance, The Brothers that just do Gutters offers a Maintenance Agreement program. This service ensures your gutters receive regular cleanings, keeping them in peak condition throughout the year.

Another benefit of hiring professional gutter cleaners is that your system will be inspected annually, allowing minor adjustments to be made before small issues turn into costly repairs.

To maintain optimal performance, gutter cleaning should be done before the spring rainy season and at least once or twice in the fall to remove accumulating leaves and debris.

For those looking to reduce the need for frequent cleanings, installing a high-quality gutter guard system is a smart investment. While it requires an upfront cost, gutter guards help keep gutters clear, reinforce the system’s strength, and extend its lifespan—especially in areas prone to heavy storms.

Overflowing / Leaky Gutters

Leaks and overflowing water after a storm are the biggest signs that your gutters may have a clog and need cleaning, but it could also be a sign that you need gutter repair. 

Signs your gutters need attention:

  • Gutter overflow 
  • Visible debris in gutters 
  • No water flow from the downspout 

To an untrained eye, an overflow that is caused by a clog may look similar to an overflow that is caused by damaged or improperly installed gutters.  

Let the Pros Decide

It is important to remedy these overflow issues because continued run-off can lead to many serious and expensive issues for your home like water damage, flooding, and foundation damage.  

During an evaluation, our professionally trained staff can determine whether your gutter system needs gutter cleaning services, or if your overflow is due to other issues that may involve a repair or a replacement. The right solution for your gutters is not a cookie-cutter plan, and each home often requires a unique solution that should be fully and properly assessed by a professional. 

 If you have a gutter overflow, contact The Brothers that just do Gutters today for your free estimate. You can trust us to properly diagnose your situation, and provide the best solution for your home. 

Cleaning your home’s gutter system is an extremely important maintenance task. However, it isn’t as easy as you might think. Some common mistakes can cause injuries to you or damage your home. 

Mistakes To Avoid 

  1. Not properly adhering to ladder safety
  2. Overreaching while on a ladder
  3. Wearing inappropriate attire
  4. Using the wrong tools
  5. Not completely unclogging gutters. 

  • Spring before increased heavy rainfall 
  • Fall after most of the leaves have fallen
  • Homes that have a lot of pine trees around will need gutter cleanings before the heavy winter rains, the spring rains, and the summer thunderstorms.

The pros don’t just clean the gutters out with a leaf blower. It is rare that gutters are only filled with dry leaves. We respect the homes that we service and leaf blowers can blow dirt and mud all over —staining windows, siding, patio furniture, and decks below. Besides, leaf blowers are not effective at clearing out clogs from downspouts. Cleaning only the gutter and leaving a clog in a downspout will only lead to more clogging and more work later.
