That actually gets checked, not just scooped. We clear them out, flush the downspouts, and check that everything's actually draining before we call it done.
Speaks clears leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts for homes across Woodinville, Bothell, Kirkland, Redmond, and the Eastside, then flushes each downspout to confirm it's actually draining rather than just clear at the top. Fall, after leaf-drop, and late winter, once moss and needle debris have had a season to build up, are the two times most Western Washington homes need it. We're the same crew that won't pressure wash your roof. The gutters get the same careful-by-hand standard.
Most homeowners don't know gutters are clogged until water runs down the siding or pools at the foundation.
Backed-up water runs behind the fascia, then into the roof deck or siding. The fix gets pricier the longer it sits.
We check every downspout, not just the trough. An empty-looking gutter can still have a blocked drop outlet.
Fir needles and maple leaves both clog differently than a typical lawn tree, and both show up here.

We clear leaves, needles, and debris from the gutter trough by hand, flush each downspout to confirm real drainage, and do a visual check for loose brackets, sagging sections, or standing water that points to a slope problem. If we see something beyond a standard cleaning (a cracked seam, a downspout pulling away from the house), we'll tell you what we saw and what it means, not just clean around it.
Gutter cleaning is also the service most often booked alongside roof moss removal, since a moss-heavy roof sheds directly into the gutters below it.
