EAVESTROUGH CLEANING IS MORE THAN JUST REMOVING DEBRIS

Toronto Clear View Window Cleaning uses only experienced professionals to clean eavestroughs. Although taking care of such a cleaning yourself may be tempting, there are important factors to keep in mind. Just like window cleaning, eavestrough cleaning requires the proper skill and equipment. Firstly, either equip ladders with padded mitts to protect your eavestrough / gutters from damage, or standoffs. Because there are so many different ways to clean gutters, it is crucial to know the best approach. Well, we have that knowledge. Given this, we will analyze what is required to provide the best and most appropriate type of eavestrough cleaning service. Each situation is different. If possible, we use a unique cleaning system which removes the most clogging-causing debris in the industry.

WHY EAVESTROUGH CLEANING IS IMPORTANT

Imagine what would happen if you let your bathtub overflow. Water will go where it does not belong. Repeatedly doing this would cause extensive and expensive water damage, such as rot and mold. Overflowing eavestroughs and gutters cost homeowners thousands of dollars in water damage yearly. The most common damage caused by eavestrough cleaning neglect is rotting fascia, window, ceiling, wall mold, and basement flooding. The purpose of eavestroughs and gutters is to divert rainwater to a safe location. Eavestroughs and gutters simply can’t do that when they are clogged. Unfortunately, eavestroughs and gutters constantly get clogged because of the elements of nature. Tree debris is the most common cause of clogged eavestroughs and gutters. Eavestrough Cleaning is so important that every city regularly provides reminders to do so. Even insurance companies recommend the same thing because of the number of water damage claims they receive.

CAN’T I CLEAN MY OWN EAVESTROUGHS?

Do you need to hire a professional for the job? Not really, because you can do it yourself and purchase all the necessary tools and supplies. If you are good with heights, don’t mind the risks that come with it, save your money. If you want to buy your own tools and supplies, do NOT expect to find them at your local handyman store. Only specialty stores supply the right tools. For example, there’s ABC Window Cleaning Supply Inc., and CWC Supply Inc., in the United States. As for Canada, there’s, Canada Cleaning Supplies and The Window Cleaning Store. Regardless, cleaning eavestroughs is a dangerous job and requires expertise and knowledge to get the job done right and safely. As a result, for your protection, Toronto Clear View Window Cleaning Inc. carries 5 Million dollar liability insurance and is WSIB compliant. We will provide documents to support our insurance coverages. Most people decide to let professionals clean their eavestroughs and gutters.

HOW OFTEN IS EAVESTROUGH CLEANING NEEDED?

While most people immediately think of Fall, experts know that eavestroughs / gutters should be cleaned a minimum of two or more times per year. Spring too is a time of the year when trees drop a lot of debris. Depending on the type of trees near the property and how close they are, the eavestroughs and gutters should be cleaned even more often. Insurance companies know firsthand all the damage claims they regularly receive because of clogged eavestroughs not allowing water to safely flow. Read a Blog posted by Allstate Insurance about this. Another informative article that nicely explains why and how important it is for regular cleanings. See Angie’s List.

WHY OFFER DIFFERENT EAVESTROUGH CLEANING PACKAGES?

Cleaning requirements vary from house to house. We therefore provide different eavestrough cleaning and gutter cleaning packages to choose from. While each package does include standard eavestrough cleaning, the downpipes may also be clogged. As a result, they may need to be taken apart because of debris caught inside. This does require much more time and we have a package that includes taking care of that without any extra charge. If you see water flushing freely from the bottom of the drainpipe, choose the less costly package. The image below displays what each package includes. Offering different cleaning packages allows for a “customized” service to suit your needs.
