What Gutter Cleaning Includes
Professional eavestrough and gutter cleaning from Chicago Cleaning Pros ensures your drainage system works properly through Chicago's challenging seasonal cycles -- from summer thunderstorms to fall leaf drop to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Standard Gutter Cleaning Service:
- Remove all debris: leaves, seed pods, sticks, and accumulated material
- Flush gutters with water to clear fine debris and test flow
- Clear all downspouts (unclog if blocked)
- Inspect gutters for damage: sagging sections, separated joints, holes
- Check downspout drainage direction
- Bag and remove all debris from property
Optional Add-Ons:
- Gutter guard installation
- Downspout extension installation
- Minor gutter repair (sealed joints, re-securing loose sections)
- Fascia board inspection
All gutter cleaning work is performed safely using appropriate ladders and equipment. We work on single-story, two-story, and select three-story homes.
For homes in wooded neighborhoods or with significant overhanging trees -- common in Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, and the North Shore -- we recommend cleaning twice per year (fall and spring) rather than once.

Why Chicago Homeowners Need Regular Gutter Cleaning
Chicago's combination of heavy tree canopy (maples, oaks, elms dominate suburban streets), significant rainfall (36 inches annually), and freeze-thaw winter cycles makes gutter maintenance more critical than in many other cities.
Ice dam prevention: Clogged gutters in late fall mean water sits in the gutter trough as temperatures drop. Standing water freezes, expands, and can damage the gutter system and promote ice dams on the roofline -- which push water under shingles and into the attic.
Foundation protection: Overflowing gutters direct water toward your foundation during heavy spring rains. Over time, this can lead to basement seepage -- a common and expensive problem in Chicagoland homes.
Fascia and soffit protection: Water that cannot drain properly sits against wooden fascia boards, causing rot. Regular gutter cleaning is one of the cheapest forms of preventive home maintenance.
