Why Clogged Gutters Are a Bigger Problem Than They Look
Clogged gutters do not just look messy. When water cannot flow through, it backs up and spills over right next to your foundation, over and over, in the same spots. In Utah’s clay-heavy soil, that repeated soaking causes the ground to expand and contract, which is one of the leading causes of foundation cracks. A $200 gutter cleaning is a lot cheaper than a foundation repair that can run into the thousands.
What’s Hiding Behind Your Fascia
Standing water in a clogged gutter has nowhere to go, so it backs up under the shingles and behind the fascia board. Combined with Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles, that trapped moisture leads to rot and roof damage you usually cannot see from the ground. Clogged gutters full of standing water are also the number one mosquito breeding ground around a home, and they attract wasps, birds, and rodents looking for a place to nest.

How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?
Homes near cottonwood, scrub oak, or pine trees usually need it twice a year, once in spring and again after the leaves drop in fall. Homes without much tree cover can often get by with once a year, ideally after fall dust season settles down. If it has been more than a year since your gutters were cleaned, or you had a heavy storm recently, it’s worth getting them checked.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my gutters cleaned in Utah County?
Most homes near trees need it twice a year, in spring and fall. Homes without much tree cover can often get by with once a year. If it has been over a year, it is worth getting them checked.
Can clogged gutters really damage my foundation?
Yes. When gutters overflow, water pools against your foundation in the same spots every time it rains. In Utah’s clay-heavy soil that repeated soaking is one of the leading causes of foundation cracks and basement moisture problems.
Do you clean the downspouts too?
Yes, downspouts are checked and cleared as part of every gutter cleaning. A clean gutter with a blocked downspout still backs up, so I make sure water actually flows away from your home.
