Gutter cleaning clears leaves, moss, dirt, and built-up debris from gutters and downspouts so rainwater can flow off the roof the way it’s supposed to. In a region with as much rainfall and tree cover as the Lower Mainland, gutters fill up fast, and a clogged gutter stops doing its job right when it’s needed most.
The process starts with clearing debris out of the gutter channel by hand, then flushing the downspouts to check that water moves freely all the way to the ground. Roof edges and valleys near overhanging trees usually collect the most buildup and get extra attention during the cleaning.
When gutters overflow, water runs down siding, pools near the foundation, or backs up under roof edges. In Langley and Burnaby, where rain is frequent for much of the year, that overflow happens fast once a gutter clogs. Regular gutter cleaning keeps water moving where it belongs instead of pooling where it can cause damage.

Twice a year is a reasonable baseline for most homes here, once in the fall after leaves drop and again in spring. Properties with a lot of overhanging trees may need a check partway through the wet season too.
Clogged gutters overflow, and that water has to go somewhere. It usually runs down the siding, pools near the foundation, or seeps under roof edges and fascia boards, none of which is where you want water sitting for long.
Yes. Clearing the gutter channel only solves half the problem if the downspout is still blocked, so the crew flushes downspouts to confirm water is moving freely to the ground.
Water that overflows a clogged gutter often lands right next to the foundation instead of draining away from the house. Over time, that repeated pooling can contribute to foundation and drainage issues, which is one more reason to keep gutters clear.
